BTW,
Youre also carring water for someone who was suspended for personally attacking my family because I was posting on FR Linux threads..
I'm not defending GE. I'm defending the points made in this thread that happen to by in sync with what he's saying. There's a difference. It appears Shadow, Miss Information, and you take this all to personal. I'm trying to keep it on the facts/opinions. And hoping to avoid the personal attacks, but I do call a spade a spade when it's obvious what it is. Based mainly on what I've seen in this thread Miss Information has confirmed that he allowed a lie to go on for months which can be assumed it provided miss information to many lurkers and Freepers who were just browsing the thread(s). such behavior is appauling. If GE or anyone does similar things I'd be all over it. Especially if they continued to try and defend such behavior. Continued lying as a way to win a point is wrong and should be shunned by all. Setting up a strawman or floating a false point is one thing but carrying on a lie for months is just WRONG! And the fact that those that defend Miss Information won't admit it reveals a lot.
For example, let's say he created an elaborate lie where he hacked a couple news sites and posted articles about how Mac has a security hole that allows all free control of the Mac without any user intervention. Just to get a new response out of the Mac faithful. Then proceed to use that response when ever security issue with windows came up and the Mac guys say buy a Mac and you won't have any security issues.
You'd be all over that calling him a liar (and you'd be justified to do so).
