Groklaw has an interesting, meticuously documented bit on Miguel de Icaza in the context of RMS’ recent comments.
One of the most interesting points is how absolutely baseless and inane Mr. Perlow’s hit piece on Stallman for ZDNet is – no great surprise to anyone who has actually read it, as it is filled with factual errors, torturted interpretations and logical fallacies. But then I always find a point-by-point dismantling of disinformation a good reading.
Indeed, it’s nice to see Groklaw bringing their brand of exacting inspection to this issue.
Even though this could mean we will soon begin to see those attacks on Groklaw, which follow the same pattern of other pro-Mono attacks – such as those on Stallman and the FSF – though Groklaw will be a much less attractive target.
For one thing, PJ has a bit of experience dealing with such nastiness. The irony of course is that she gained it while investigating SCOs attacks on Linux, and will probably be ready if Team Mono and Friends should attack her on Freedom now! There’s a certain symmetry to that, I think.
Another thing is, that I’ve noticed the pro-Mono attacks begin to look a bit faded lately.
But I guess that’s just natural, when your pattern of attacking people truly interested in protecting the 4 Freedoms is mainly ad hominem and disinformation.
