Roy has a lot of people on his ass because:
1) He posts indiscriminantly.
2) He doesn't check facts.
3) He often mischaracterizes the articles he posts.
4) He continues to repost articles that have been shown to him to be false
5) He posts old shit as "news"
6) He posts opinion as "news"
7) He tries to co-opt everything into a microsoft negative story, even when
it has nothing to do with Microsoft
8) He spams his own blog
9) He uses his own articles as proof to support his claims (very rex-like)
10) He doesn't even read the articles he posts most of the time, which
combined with his intentionally dishonest headlines leads to a high level
of innaccuracy
11) He is oblivious to anyone but himself
... That's off the top of my head, if i really thought about it I could
come up with 20 or 30 more reasons he generates bad will virtually every
time he sits at his keyboard
He would recieve almost no criticism (here or digg or wherever) if he was
just honest, accurate, corrected himself (as any good "journalist" should
do) when he makes a mistake or posts incorrect articles, Remove articles he
knows are false from his reposts, and stop prevent opinions as facts.
