Take a stroll through GE's posting history. You can go back through literally thousands of posts and not find anything but trolling behavior on tech threads. The only exception is a very occasional post concerning china.

From mid December to mid January or so, we had a month's respite from his trolling the threads. This was during the big worm threat in MS-Windows that would allow someone to post an image on a site such as FreeRepublic and have it compromize MS-Windows systems. Despite the nature of the discussions, they were generally civil and informative for those reading the threads.

I find it to be interesting that even on issues that could easily become seriously contentious, without GE's trolling, the threads didn't degenerate into name-calling and flames.

Yes, please do check my posting history, so you can see where I've consistently blown your attempted BS completely out of the water. Happened again just today, as a matter of fact.

There's a connection, one of his main paranoias is China getting Linux for free. Selling them an OS is okay, but letting them have one for free isn't.
