They are scrambling around in damage control mode already.
Much like roaches do when a Linux advocate turns on the lights in his
mother's basement.
The general "damage control" used in COLA is to lash out against those who
know more than you (even if only in a limited area). That is one of the
main reasons Peter Köhlman spews BS about my personal and professional life
and lies about me forging PDFs - it is why Tattoo Vampire lies about me
calling him and makes up stories about my family and calls me a "hippie" who
should find a "real job" [another moron who says teachers do not have real
jobs]. It is why *both* of them call people names and mock others.
They are insecure about themselves. They do not like themselves as they are
and do not think they can become better. They mock people who acknowledge
errors and look for any hole in someone armor where they think they can get
a good "dig".
Steve Carroll of, mostly, CSMA was the same way... and he finally had -
literally - a mental break down. I do not wish the same for Peter and
Tattoo... I sincerely hope they find it in themselves to improve themselves.
I haven't been following your battles however this is basically true.
An example is the FAA thread.
I happen to know a very well placed person, and have for many years and as
a result I know a lot about how that operation works.
And my information, within the limits of the systems I am familiar with via
this connection, is right on the money.
This is compared to "press releases" and pure speculation on the part of
the Linux loons in this group.
I tell it like it is and I don't really give a hoot what the problem was
other than to discuss it and possibly offer better solutions.
Another example is the "it works for me" aka CUPS thread where I point
out that the Linux loons were squawking about this long before Eric Raymond
wrote that scathing article.
They have done it for years and it's simply a lie which came out later when
normal people tried doing these various tasks and failed.
Kohlmann of course chimes in with his proof mantra.
I offered proof.
But then he starts up his little game about the proof not being good
enough.
Sorry, I don't get sucked into his vortex anymore.
Then of course Linonut has to point out that I posted the same thread link
twice as if this means anything.
It's proof and there is plenty more.
Google is FULL of Linux nuts claiming the fonts in Linux for example or
printers just *work* for them and this is way back years ago and in some
cases before they even had antialiasing on fonts and they truly looked
jagged and horrible.
For them to lie and try and discredit me with their usual "proof" crap is
ludicrous because Linonut and Kohlmann were here when all that stuff was
going on and they know full well what was said.
Several of these people here obviously have some kind of mental problem
when it comes to being honest about Linux.
I fail to understand this but I suspect it arises from being insecure,
being locked into jobs where they are using Windows 10 hours a day to earn
their living and it having some kind of effect on their psyche.
Look at Schestowitz for example.
Is his behavior even remotely normal for a college age young adult who
should be building his life?
The list goes on an on.
You can bet your sweet bippy that if it had been the editor of Microsoft
World that used Linux they would be squealing with delight.
In fact they squeal over the fact that Microsoft has a Linux lab or that
Microsoft's 3rd party caching servers run Linux.
In short the majority of comp.os.linux.advocacy's *advocates* are not
advocates at all.
They are doing far more harm to Linux than they are helping the cause.
Someone on digg put it nicely:
"Roy Schestowitz is to Linux what Pat Robertson is to religion. He scares
away more people than he converts".
This is true of many of the COLA Linux loons.
