He is, but notice how trolls attack the messenger when they refuse to grasp
the message (the Halloween Documents in this case).
I feel a little guilty when I realise that trolls reply to my posts. I
killfiled them so I don't have to spend time reading any tripe. But judging
by followups from Linux advocates, they still bother to speak up...
sometimes to the walls, evidently. Roy C's stats help discover parallel
universe where trolls initiate threads with anti-Linux titles and are
apparently very active.
