In Mugsy Nabru had this to say:
Interspersed:
Microsoft owns Windows and can do whatever they like - untill a court
of law tells them that they can't.
That is 100% accurate unless they are in violation of the law in which case
the law has already spoken and in this case they haven't. Microsoft vs.
Kurtail in a sub-committee hearing. Should be entertaining.
Isn't that right A**hole. You are always the one spouting off about
law.
He makes valid points - idealistic and assuming that he has some sort of
right to demand what Microsoft can and can't do but he backs them up with
evidence (biased but that's the name of the game) to support his ideals.
Suggest you go over to the dark side and play with Apple or Linux.
But hey - you are too stupid to learn these new systems. You even
said so yourself in the past.
Oh my. Not at all. He's not even remotely stupid. He probably won't admit it
in public but he's even got a heart. You should read more of his posts.
While I don't agree with him at all I do see that Microsoft - the owners of
the servers here - has allowed him to remain while they have it in their
power to ban him easily enough. To call Kurtail stupid is erroneous. Biased,
assuming (spelling), and egotistical? Those would be accurate. Stupid is,
however, not a very accurate description.
You are about the most insecure, inconsiderate, lonely looser that I
have ever seen post in any newsgroup. Grow up. Take your thumb out of
your A** and place it in your mouth where it should be. You need oral
gratification that only sucking can give you.
I've not had the chance to give a good analytical view of his psychological
make-up nor motives. I don't agree with either the tactics nor 90% of what
he says but I don't think that gives me the right to judge him nor his views
and so long as the owners of the server allow his presence (and I've even
seen him help here and there - so get off him, he's our troll!) I don't
think that resorting to petty name calling and partially obscured
vulgarities will benefit you any.
So, finally, you should understand - from the above - that I don't agree
with the vast majority of what he has to say but I respect his freedom to
voice his opinions so long as they're done with some effort of self
restraint. (Something he seems to have taken into account as of late.) He is
entitled to his views as much as Microsoft is entitled to do what ever they
want with their operating system and to make any business choices they want.
The irony that I see is that people will sit here and, when you get to the
root of it, say the basic "you haven't any right to tell them what to do"
message that's been repeated to him a million times. (How many times is it
now anyhow?) In reality, at the same time, they're telling him that he can't
have a point of view while, at the same time - and you can trust he's been
reviewed enough - the people who are in charge of the whole server (as in
they OWN it and allow YOU to access it at great expense to them) accept
*most* of what he posts.
Ah, it reminds me of the gliberals who shout about freedoms of choice and
then throw paint on people who wear fur. Anyhow, don't feed the trolls and
quite frankly we're acclimated to him and Kurtrail's our troll.
