Weisgerber, shouldn't you be sucking Bill Gates' dick along with Dan Lyons and
Rob Enderle, who make similar allegations for paychecks from Ballmer and his
gang? Watch Groklaw. SCO's case is one big bluff. McBride knew it from the
start. He tried to freeze the market for the convicted monopoly abuser. I
wonder how much money they all get away with, you included. Shame on you. If I
believe in God, I'd say you're going to hell. Sadly, your only punishment is
having to look at the mirror each day to confront a liar, a shill, and a
zealous fascist who defends abuse and exploitation in American (and global)
society.
Shame on you, Weisgerber. It is scum like youthat make the world the ugly thing
it sometimes becomes.
