And i notice you completely avoid the issue.
Roy doesn't care if he's factual or not. He absolutely does not care one
iota if what he posts if real, true, factual, or made up. What's worse, he
continues to post it, even after corrected.
And, to top matters off, he likes to editorialize his content, which makes
him not *just* a news aggragator. He pretends to read and understand the
content, yet he constantly gets it wrong, always in favor of his pet
agenda.
The fact of the matter is, Nobody, not even RMS believs that patents are
bad. Only software patents. The story Tim is referring to has nothing to
do with a software patent, but is a hardware patent, by a company that is
actually harmed by someone infringine on their patent.
The fact of the matter is, Roy doesn't care that his editorialized content
is false, and he'll keep reposting it. That's what gets him such a bad
reputation everywhere he posts, other than from people like you. Then, he
blames his unpopularity on conspiracies against him.
The fact that you support Roy's unconscionable disregard for truth or facts
makes you just as bad as him.
