People are on to Roy Schestowitz over on digg and Roy doesn't like it
so he goes crying like a baby to the admins.
Read some of the comments by people.
How the hell can he reach -157 with just a couple of COLA trolls
burying him?
It's not possible.
The real truth, and what Roy is hoping will be steam rolled, is that
Roy is a very unlikeable person over on digg.
People have Roy figured out and can vote with their opinion, unlike
over in COLA where he floods the place whenever he wants and has his
ignorant choir defend him.
That doesn't work on digg.

Where is this website?
It seems like an interesting place.

Roy is like a person who comes to work with the flu.
The more people he comes in contact with and infects with his parnoid,
narcissistic personality, the more people dislike him.
Digg users are a lot smarter than COLA freaks so Roy can't use his
typical tricks to bury bad press.

I believe Roy *IS* using automated software and I have reported him to
the digg administrators to have them investigate.
I have sent, amongst other things, time stamped messages from both
COLA, Netscape and digg and have inquired as to how Roy could possibly
be posting all of these messages within minutes of each other to
multiple places if he were not circumventing the system.
This is NOT an attack on Roy Schestowitz in any shape form or fashion
as I believe Roy is as entitled to his opinion as much as anyone else.
Quite unlike Roy himself who believes people that disagree with him
should be sileneced.
Really odd considering he fancies himself an open source freedom
fighter.
That's known as a hypocrite BTW.
The reason Roy's posting is being questioned is because it violates
diggs policy on using automated devices to post and in effect skews
the site which totally goes against what digg is all about.
Time will be the judge as to what digg administration thinks of Roy,
but the evidence for him using robot software to post is overwhelming.
