The Reputation Issue Is Not Our Fault

Reputation can be squashed quickly, but nobody does that better than one's family, the people who live with you and know you. We in Techrights will spend years writing about what was done to us by the the Serial Strangler from Microsoft in Microsoft's Graveley & Garrett v Schestowitz & Schestowitz (they've already admitted under sworn oath the connection).

Reputation cannot be repaired when this is what your own spouse says about you (a few hours ago):

fuck Matthew Garrett, fuck him for breaking my dog’s legs, for having me kidnapped and raped, fuck this fucking guy, get his citizenship gone

Trying to hide this with SLAPPs won't work because of the Streisand Effect. Trying to squash words (and people) merely diverts more attention to them.
