Tim Ransom's Feeble Mind

I also remember him as being a particularly vocal "critic" of Groklaw here and on CKX, and as a "mojo" wielder on ip-wars. He was big on the whole idea of incorporating that site in the wake of the Merkey issue. My fondest memories of the caustic little tard consist of watching Drone eviscerate him time and again on CKX, batting him around like a ball of paper one minute, grinding him under the boot heel the next. It may have been those repeated humiliations that drove him over the edge, but I doubt it. What was obvious then is obvious now. He ingratiated himself to the board, then, when the winds of Grokwar started to blow, he alligned himself with the anti-Groklaw element and star...

You are as bad as BIFF, who insists we have to follow the people (Jack, Linus, RMS) not the issues.>> What on Earth are you gibbering about, man? Where do I "insist" that anyone "follow" anything? My post was about deepdistrust. Apparently, you would have it be about something else. At this point, you might as well complain about the weather. As far as conflating people with issues, I suppose that the irony that you chose "cdbaric/timransom" as a subject line for your poorly considered tirade here eludes you. << Sorry, but intelligent people don't work that way. Just because RMS says something you agree with does not mean you have to agree with EVERYTHING he says.>> I don't know what you're "sorry" about here. I can...

Who cares? You are as bad as BIFF, who insists we have to follow the people (Jack, Linus, RMS) not the issues. Sorry, but intelligent people don't work that way. Just because RMS says something you agree with does not mean you have to agree with EVERYTHING he says. This is basic stuff, and you are needlessly conflating two disparate issues, and despite all your disclaimers, are very keen to refight grokwars all over again. If sheepdistrust says something stupid, argue. If he says something you agree with, agree. If he is "faking" agreeing with you, great. Who cares? Argue the merits of the individual issues. I'll be waiting for you in CKX if you like. Or, i expect you'll both simply accuse ME of pretending to be "pro-linux...

Just read that some genius here thinks freecode "is in it for the money", because he mentioned the bounty *SCO offered* to catch the perp. Hello? Engage your brain: if you've been paying attention, then you'd know that *he knows*, yet the bounty is *unpaid*. Why would they (SCO) not want to ackowledge something? Could it *incriminate* them? *GAWD*!!! Is this thing on? Secondly, what motivated Al to put up his freakin' GL mirror? Respect for PJ's work? HAHAHA! That's rich! Heck, Al was here calling *freecode* an "idiot" very recently. I guess freecode must have inadvertantly threatened someone's *thunder* in the pantheon of *micro celebrity* that drives most of these histrionics. Finally, what was *PJ* thinking dragging this hoary issue out of the mothballs? We all argued ...
