Crashing the thing after the speech is over is not the same as interrupting
the speech.
This is a pattern for Roy, he twists his titles to insinutate the worst
possible spin on what the article really says, and in many cases outright
lies about them. Occasionally (but not often), he'll cop to
misunderstanding the article, despite there being no way any sane person
could.
In this case, Roy thought it would look bad if an open source supporter was
able to disrupt gates in the middle of his speech, figuring people wouldn't
actually read the article he links to. he screwed up though, by including
the part that disagrees with his subject in his quoted text (which he
usually trims).
