Let’s step away from the radical feminists for a moment and look at zealotry in a different arena – technology.
“schestowitz the GNU/Troll strikes again with his inimitable prose and fair and balanced view of things. Are you done flooding the Netscape portals and USENET with your ‘news’ laddie? That’s great, now we can appreciate your hard work on Digg, thanks to all your digger sockpuppets. We’re so lucky.” -
Unfortunately for many people it is impossible to separate a development methodology (open source) from a ideology (anti-capitalism, socialism and anti-corporatism). While there are some who get the difference (notably Linux father Linux Torvolds) there are lots who don’t. These are people who somehow feel that attacking anyone who is actually working for a living makes life worth living.
“Buried as inaccurate and blogspam. Boycottnovell.com has no credibility as it is run by schestowitz, the FUD Master. And by the quality of writing, illiterate as well.” – more love on digg
Many of these zealots or “fan boys” are only a little obsessed. However occasionally you get someone who is just out of his gourd. And that’s where our buddy Roy comes in. See if you can figure out what Roy is obsessed with (hint: its Microsoft) from the links below…
- Roy’s incessant multiple story a day Digg habit
- Roy’s 5-10 story a day Usenet habit
Most of his submissions are just blog spam from his Boycott Novell blog of screaming zealotry so you can get all your crazy in one place!

Although prolific at times, I find Roy’s submissions informative and well thought out.
So…are YOU on the Microsoft payroll?
Absolutely. Even now I am posting from the corporate jet while hot MS interns rub my feet in between carpal tunnel therapies.
