What would you call ... I'd say it's someone who has some personal issues with admitting he/she is wrong.
As for making things up and then refusing to respond when called on it ... I'd call them the NYTimes, Boston Globe, CNN, MSNBC, Newsweek, Time, LATimes, Detroit Free Press, etc.

The future of Linux is unlimited. I dunno, I never considered an OS to be "evil". Is there an exorcism available for it?

LOL, accusing the richest man in the world of being a communist, while trying to run cover for the GNU operation which is based on it.

Wonder if n3wbie is a "useful idiot", or "proletarian"? Marx would know for sure.

Personal wealth has nothing to do with any love of caplitalism or hated of communism. Two words: George Soros.

"It is a brand-new form of capitalism, and as a consumer its the best thing that ever happened," Gates told an informal meeting late Friday at the World Economic Forum in this ski resort.
He characterized the Chinese model in terms of "willingness to work hard and not having quite the same medical overhead or legal overhead".

Bill Gates: "The idea of capitalistic incentive: there's actually a higher percentage of the planet - take all of China - that's involved in capitalistic incentive systems than there have been in the past."

The users of Microsoft's new China-based internet portal were recently blocked from using the words democracy, freedom and human rights in a move by the software giant to please Beijing.Other words that are not permitted on Microsoft China's free online blog service, MSN Spaces, include: Taiwan independence and demonstration.
If a user attempts to post one of these words in his blog, he would recieve the following message: "this item should not contain forbidden speech such as profanity. Please enter a different word for this item".
Microsoft has already been critisized for working with the Chinese government in an attempt to censor the internet.
