If the viagra posts were posted to a viagra advocacy

Duh!
Well if you look at the troll's statement carefully, he
answered his own question.
To be pedantic, for the thick trolls screaming about Roy's
posts, it is NOT spam. To use the troll's example, the BIG
difference is that the spammer is trying to *sell* viagra.
Did anyone notice the word "sell"? Roy OTOH is not trying to
sell *anything*.
Basically these trolls including DFS have no respect for Linux
nor the charter of this newsgroup, which is:

1.4 The Charter of comp.os.linux.advocacy
The charter of comp.os.linux.advocacy is:
For discussion of the benefits of Linux compared to other
operating systems.
That single sentence is the one and only charter of the
newsgroup comp.os.linux.advocacy. The newsgroup's charter is for
the newsgroup as a place for supporters of Linux to gather to
discuss Linux, for the betterment of the Linux community and the
promotion and development of Linux. It supports this as a place
for those who would like to learn more about Linux to come to
learn from those who know Linux. It does not call for it to be a
place where the anti-Linux propagandists to gather in order to
discredit Linux.

So far, just about everything they state within this newsgroup is
done in a manner to discredit Linux. Then to add insult to
injury, attack the poster instead of addressing the topics in
discussion, adding flavours of ad hominem rants, distortions of
the truth such as:

Not once has he refuted any correction I offered him. In my mind
that makes him less useful than chrisv or tattoo vampire at
elocution lessons.
He does a Chris Arestrom and snips the replies and tries to
rewrite history.
On one day I had Liarnut begrudgingly thank me for correcting him
on a Debian issue and a few posts later (earning another doggy
drop) claim that I dont use Linux and know nothing about it.
Go figure.
I kind of knew Porter was less useful than a chocolate teapot
when High Plains Hypocrite introduced himself and said how nice
it was to meet a "wintroll fighter" of such legendary
proportions. Poor Terry fell for the troll from whoever it was
and started to believe he really was that person.

Thus insults by twisting poster nyms, twisted analogies, calling
advocates useless, trolls and ad nauseum.

These two replies are examples of ad hominem attacks,

[...] One would hope that you have an understanding of Linux

In fairness to High Plains Hypocrite he is either Chinese of
Dutch. But he appears to talk Double Dutch. But you are right
about one thing : any language he speaks would be superior to his
knowledge of Linux.

All of a sudden, one's heritage, national background or ethnicity
give way to false illiteracy conclusions as the central focal
point, which of course are ad hominem attacks.

Nope. I'm a Linux Desktop user, not a developer. Dropped

You updated your stuff manually? You MUST be High Plains

is another example of ad hominem rants continued along with
falsely accusing an advocate of being a nymshift of two totally
different posters. By fact RonB is another advocate.
Is that what you define SPAM as? Just as I thought you could
not get any more useless Willy.
The wintrolls (who shouldn't even *be* in this group) are as
usual, putting up strawman arguments.
So you dont think automated, repated posts with zero link to
Linux advocacy is SPAM? All Roy is doing is generating hits to
this name and site. Hits make prizes.
No one with any sense reads his garbage anymore because:
1) He robbed the links from better and more balanced sites.
2) His conclusions are invariably wrong.
3) He repeats the same links all the time.
4) A great proportion of his posts reference ancient material
more that a year old.
Poor Willy. As clueless as they come.
which is more false accusations with continual ad hominem rants.
I find it rather revealing that the troll's agenda basically is
to comment spam this newsgroup with Anti-Linux landfill material.
