the most pathetic troll post

Yet you can't debunk it, or even try. I don't have much patience with know-it-all one-world open source fanatics myself, neither do a lot of people. Poor little things get their feelings hurt when people speak to them on direct terms, then try to smear them or hack their computer instead. Consider this simply another example.

Did you even read the exchange? This idiot started with an attack from ignorance, not asking for help. CentOS tried to help him from the beginning.

He could have avoided this whole thing if he had just read the page he was looking at, and had enough intelligence to understand it. I wonder why he didn't scream at the Apache project, too, since that was pretty prominent on the page. What CentOS did to figure out his problem (although they were not bound to do it and had little helpful information from him) was within the capability of any halfway decent IT person, definitely within the capability of someone with a claimed 20+ years of experience.

Can't debunk what you pathetic troll? Here's what you said in your post

That's what happens when open source kooks like those at CentOS try to explain their commie philosophy to red blooded Americans, it simply doesn't make sense. So then they try to smear him in foreign newspapers and hack his computers. Typical.

Here's the thread that CentOS posted on their website:

http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=127

It is not much more than a list of the emails as exchanged back and forth from the idiot at OKC to CentOS. How is that smearing him? The ignorant user was belligerent from the start, accusing them of installing software on his servers:

Jerry A. Taylor submitted the following Information:
Email xxxxxxx
Company City of Tuttle
Location Oklahoma
Comments

Who gave you permission to invade my website and block me and anyone else from accessing it???
Please remove your software immediately before I report it to government officials!!
I am the City Manager of Tuttle, Oklahoma.

 The folks at CentOS attempted to explain the situation, but it was like talking to a brick wall. (Have any Freepers out there experienced similar frustrations when responding to our  resident troll?) Eventually, the pathetic whining of the OKC city manager provided enough information for the fellow at CentOS to determine what the problem was.

Rather than apologize, the bureaucrat at OKC accused  the guy at CentOS of not being helpful enough in the initial messages, even though he'd correctly identified the problem in his first email exchange.

In your usual trollish manner you accuse  CentOS of  "hack(ing) his computers."

As usual, you either have displayed once again that you can't read, or you just pulled that right out of your ass as a smear of your own.

Dick Cheney hides invisible dead bodies in my sock drawer. Let's see you debunk that.
