Threats, Attacks on Women, and Other Tactics of Microsofters Will Always Backfire
California: An Epicentre of Psychosis Influenced by Silicon Valley?
I have never been to California (in my entire life). I probably never had any good reasons to. Contrariwise, a 'former' Microsoft/GitHub employee (in California) sends me threats here in the UK. He believes that reporting facts is very naughty.
Years ago he was literally begging me in E-mail (which I never ever replied to; I never spoke to this person). He didn't want facts about him reported. Later he resorted to harassing the person who merely exposed embarrassing information and caused chaos inside Microsoft (resulting in some apparent expulsions, including a CEO's).
Techrights isn't afraid of bullies. It sues bullies [1, 2].
Microsoft's vicious attacks on me go back to 2005. Back then I visited a local law firm and eventually I was left alone by the Microsofters. Each time Microsofters attack me like this (for nearly 20 years already!) it only emboldens me to write even more about Microsoft. It's basically a losing strategy for them. Leave reporters and bloggers alone. Respect their right to report news.
A long time ago Julian Assange explained that the attacks on him (and Wikileaks) are proportionate to the impact of the publications. "They will attack the messenger and try and discolour the message," he said.
They will attack not only the messenger but also the entire family of the messenger. The objective is to suppress the message by any means possible. Our sites are about 2 decades old (the sister site turns 20.5 in just 11 days from now) because they know how to handle bullies. Nothing has changed or will change in that regard. It'll just bankrupt the bullies, damage their health, and lead them astray. That's what always happened. █
