  *slaps head*
  
  Well Roy, I'm sorry if not everyone can be as pure as you and your buddies. I do use Windows at work, which is where that IP you have comes from. Go on and check it against this post, you'll see it's the same one, because I doubt the corporate proxy IP address ever changes. If you see another IP with my handle on it, it's my home DSL one, although I don't remember posting from home or from my laptop. That's where I happily run Gentoo. If you do find my home IP address you can probably stop by the Gentoo IRC forum and match it to my handle. You probably can't miss it.
  
  And there might be other people posting from behind this proxy, I don't know. It's a big company. But then you probably already know that.
  
  As for your claims of my "stalking", you must be confusing me with the other people who post evidence of twitter's trolling time and time again. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that's not me. Of course when you're as paranoid as you and your friends, I guess everyone who says anything you don't like must be employed by Microsoft and actively out to get you.
  
  Oh, and if I remember correctly, when I first posted on your blog I think I posted as "Slashdot User" or something like that, because that's where I came from after seeing one of your buddy's weird posts, but I changed that when I figured it would be disruptive. I had never heard of you before that point. Go ahead and check your logs again. In fact, why don't you do another detailed post about everything I've ever posted here? That should be enlightening, if nothing else to prove that the worst thing I've done is ask you to clarify things you write, which you of course have never done. If I have made fun of your Chief Attacker in my comments it's probably because he fully deserves it, considering he's been a huge pain on Slashdot. He's a perfect example of everything that I dislike about the "evangelism" of FOSS. The crass language, the sockpuppets, creative spelling, insults and laughable paranoia. But it was never my intention to badger you endlessly about your association to him, other people seem to be doing that quite successfully.

  Oh Boy, poor poor twitter is being stalked by evil persons who dare to point out that he's a well known troll ... How could they dare?
  
  Please gimme a break :D

  What a lovely fellow ...

  This isn't about him, but more about the goose chase which involves stalkers that come up with smears and excuses.
  
  If only you had spent more time focusing on the subject of the posts and not on people who comment on these posts...

  Roy, can you point me to an example of where I have "smeared" your friend?

  The above smear speaks for itself, Windows User but you are right that more than one nym is being used here. I'm sure that Roy will add those to the list.

  It is probably worth linking the manufacturing abuse article here as proof of pattern. People who look at M$ and publish objectively are always hounded like this.

  Just watch all the ad hominem attacks chained to yesterday's article. I guess this means that the message is hard to refute.

  You are completely nuts if you think I posted anything in that InfoWorld article, I hadn't even read it until I clicked on your link. And by god, even if I had, can you point me to my specific comment in that thread? All I see is mostly your friends posting there. Did you notice?
  
  Do you realize how paranoid you've become?
  
  And I repeat my request for you to show me the "smears" I've posted here, please.

  Oh and twitter, unfortunately I don't have the same time and resources as the people on Slashdot who make your life difficult (employees of Microsoft, all of them I'm sure), but I wish I had bookmarked a lot of the comments they post with links to your disruptions, insults and high drama about being targeted by 'M$'. You're certainly one to talk about "smears".
  
  I've been active on Slashdot for almost three years and I've never seen anyone with the same problems you have. Funny, isn't it?

  I think I get this. Since it's not possible that Schestowitz flew off the handle because "Gentoo User" dared to post from anything other than a Gentoo box, and there is no evidence of him "trolling" anything, I think this whole twitter thing is starting to get to him. He appreciates having a resourceful troll and nymshifter working for him, but he's uncomfortable with how that reflects on him every time twitter posts another shill thread on Slashdot choke-full with helpful links to BoycottNovell and the usual sprinklings of "M$ shit ass Windoze fuck LOL SweatyB HAR, HAR". I think people are starting to wise up to what's happening here.
  
  I'd like to mention that I changed my user agent to correctly state the fact that I use Plan9 as my primary OS. Really, check it out. Because it's really that friggin' simple to change it in Firefox. Maybe Gentoo User could have done that as well, and if that were the case, would this little flamefest be relevant? No. No, I don't think the fact "Gentoo User" is not posting from Gentoo mortifies you. People (other than your retinue) are not that stupid, you know.
  
  Oh, and one final thing. Be careful with the way you edit those posts. Remember they're all still in their original form in the Google cache.

  Oh, god. Now everyone who dares to regularly criticise Mr Roy Schestowitz gets a red line below his every comment in order stigmatize him.
  
  Great work, Mr S.

  The threat to Debian is more than theoretical. A while back you posted links to at least one person who in violation of the Debian Social Contract started trying to commit MS' java imitation.
  
  Look around a little bit and you'll see that the contract is violated with many instances of C# and/or Mono contamination.

  I've seen the same people who promote and defend Mono in Ubuntu forums and mailing lists doing this in Debian too. I can produce proof (I think it's already in one of the IRC logs from last week).

  Roy, yes, proof would be welcome. For a change. Proof of Gentoo User's "smears" and "trolling" would also be welcome. You do have that somewhere, right?
