This is true and it becomes even more apparent when you view COLA through
Google Groups which is how new users are typically going to find COLA in
the first place.
Most times of the day the first 2 pages are nothing but Roy's spewage.
A new user will just assume it's a SPAM group, because that's just what it
looks like, and move elsewhere.

Roy is out for Roy and that's all there is to it.
COLA is simply a convenient tool to feed his madness and self worship.
The funny part is that trolls haven't gone anywhere, but the group is
imploding because of Roy, a so called Linux advocate, not because of them.
