Could you point out in there where it says Rod Trent is posting a bunch
of pro-Microsoft things on Digg? I can't seem to find anything in there
about Rod Trent.

Again, I can't find anything there about Rod Trent's Digg posts. Can
you point it out?

How else do you explain his claims about Rod Trent's Digg postings?
Maybe you should read the thread I linked to again. Roy was not making
a general claim that there exist shills. He made a very specific claim,
about a very specific person (a person who has never, as far as I can
see, posted here, and was not, as far as I've seen, ever even mentioned
here until Roy attacked him). His claim was shown to be wrong--so wrong
that it is not even plausible that it could have been made in error. He
had no defense, other than to try to chance the claim to another, which
was shown to be as wrong.
