His news references are advocacy related.  Yours apparently 
are not.

2% of his initiated posts have this mispelled.

.... except that he has not included ASCII art or website in 
these posts.

He has stated before, if you do not like his posts, to filter 
them.  Oops!  I am sorry, 2% were mispelled and you actually 
read Linux advocacy content!

Paragraph 1.4 states, "The charter of comp.os.linux.advocacy
is: For discussion of the benefits of Linux compared to other
operating systems.  That single sentence is the one and only
charter of the newsgroup comp.os.linux.advocacy. The
newsgroup's charter is for the newsgroup as a place for
supporters of Linux to gather to discuss Linux, for the
betterment of the Linux community and the promotion and
development of Linux." 

How does your criticising and misrepresenting the truth on an 
advocacy poster better the Linux community?

Perhaps if you were to post content that supported promotion 
and development of Linux instead of criticising Linux 
advocates, there would be less mess.
