Bill Weisgerber and the Paid2Post Microsoft Shills
Roy Schestowitz
Just received the following E-mail from a stranger. I anonymise it below and
share it with you.
===
hi,
i just happened to notice that you spent some text debunking my old 'friend'
bill weisgerber last spring.
i went around with bill (& a host of other paid2post shills) on a nytimes
forum for over 3 years. despite being exposed for what/who they were/are,
they just would not quit their mindless pr firm hypenosys. at that time, the
nytimes was quite supportive of their charade. what a blight.
just anecdotal.
best regards,

How is that more believable than this "email" I "received?"

hi cc,
i just happened to notice that you spent some time debunking my old
'friend' Roy Schestowitz these past few months.
i pay Roy to post as many Vista links as possible to various linux
sites and newsgroups. I don't care if he is exposed for what he is,
i'm not going to stop paying him. Luckily there are some guillible
people who are quite supportive of his charade. what a blight.
just anecdotal.
best regards,
<anon>

You can post "anonymous" emails all you like, but if there is no way
of verifying it then it's useless.

"Bill Weisgerber, specifically, some of your posts here might be usable
against you"
So, "billwg" was posting in COLA on behalf of Microsoft Corporation. He did
so in other place as well.
COLA troll, I dare ask you, how many of you have been paid to post in this
newsgroup over the years? Are you are of the fact that your employer could
face a colossal PR and legal blunder over this?
Here are people whom I suspect are also, just like "billwg", Microsoft
shills:
Larry Qualig (former Microsoft employee)
Scott Nudds (AKA Vistaking)
Erik Funkenbusch (formerly an anti-OS/2 astroturfer)
flatfish+++ (Gary Stewart)
Damian O'Leary (AKA Hadron Quark)

As I said before, Microsoft had already been caught paying forum members to
spread lies about rivals, e.g.

It is very simple. Google for Bill weisgerber and you will see that this
twit has done his shill service for MS since years in always the same,
extremely dishonest way
You can see for yourself that billwg is an asshole of enormous proportions.
A true MS believer, like Erik Funkenbusch

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!
So billwg is micoshaft's Bill Weisgerber?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!
I guess eventually every micoshaft's lifeless bum boy
get exposed.
It proves once and for all that there are NO
genuine micoshaft supporters here - they are ALL paid for asstroturfers
earning $200 to $600 per post. Every time they open their mouth,
one or more windopz license payee's money goes up in smoke.
Thats why they don't repond to critical rebuff. It drains their thinking
time and opportunity time to earn another $200 - $600.
I would like to speak to one of these bum boy's supervisors.
After all, these bum boys are owned by them and they
have a critical weakness in that they don't
and will NEVER engage in dialogue. If they did, they and micoshaft
could get sued becaus they are going into print on behalf of micoshaft
corporation regardless of how distant the connections.

To the rest of us, there is no difference obviously. How are we
supposed to tell? Either the "anonimised" source can post here with a
name for verification, otherwise it's all hearsay.
Roy Schestowitz
I wonder if he nymshifted to "amicus_curious". The posting style is similar,
just without the LOL and lowercase'd names of other people. Moreover, if you
search Google "Bill Weisgerber" and "amicus_curious", then you'll see
similarity in the sense that 'they' hang out in similar forums. Either way,
I have contacted some journalists with regards to this. Maybe and hopefully
it'll get as much exposure as Microsoft's shilling back in the OS/2 days.
They deserve the bad PR. See below.
A Wake-Up Call to Microsoft?s PR Team
,----[ Quote ]
| In 1998, the Los Angeles Times reported that Microsoft, during its
| antitrust trials, hired PR companies to flood newspapers with fake
| letters of support, bearing ordinary individuals' names but actually
| written by Microsoft PR staff.
|
| Later, during the antitrust trials, Microsoft attempted to prove
| the inseparability of Windows and Internet Explorer by playing a
| video for the judge. But the government?s lawyer noticed that as
| the tape rolled on, the number of icons on the desktop kept
| changing. Microsoft had spliced together footage from different
| computers to make its point.
|
| Then in 2002, Microsoft's Web site featured a testimonial called
| ?Confessions of a Mac to PC Convert," a first-person account by
| an attractive brunette "freelance writer" about how she had fallen
| in love with Windows XP.
|
| Unfortunately, a Slashdot member discovered that the identical
| photo was available for rent from the stock-photo libraries of
| GettyImages.com. Sure enough: Microsoft had hired a PR firm to
| write the testimonial. The "switcher" did not actually exist.

Microsoft Traps and Hunts for Bloggers in India !!

| In 2001, the Los Angeles Times accused Microsoft of astroturfing

| deceased citizens or nonexistent addresses.

| Could there be more bad news? Of course! Even Paul Thurrott isn't
| impressed with the Zune, calling its pricing strategy the "makings of
| a disaster." Misery! Not only has the Zune suffered a horrific wreck of
| a product introduction, but Annie Wilkes is at the foot of the bed saying
| she doesn't approve of how things are going.
|
| If your number one fan is sending you hate mail, you have a problem.
| So what's with all the Zune related web sites carefully repeating the
| same talking points? It's called astroturfing.
|
| Instead of inspiring actual interest in a grassroots fashion, Microsoft
| has resorted to spreading fake grass, crafting each site to suggestt
| he appearance of something other than the advertisement it is.
|
| This is similar to the scam Microsoft pulled with its own imitation of
| Apple's Switchers ad campaign. Titled "Confessions of a Mac to PC
| Convert," the ad portrayed a professionally dressed woman complaining
| about her Mac, but ended up being a canned picture pulled from stock
| photography and voiced by a professional writer.
|
| Similarly, Greenpeace staffers have assigned to post astroturf comments
| on websites saying "I'm a Mac user and gosh darn it I think that
| Greenpeace is alright with all their concern about the ecology!" More
| on that scam later!
|
| One would expect a certain level of interest and excitement out of
| Microsoft's own users, but that isn't really happening. Nearly every
| Zune site on the web is carefully stepping around the piles of problems
| to spend a lot of time on Microsoft supplied bullet points, including
| the "celebration of music," the slightly larger or at least
| stretched display, and how wireless DRM sharing is such a
| brilliant idea.

|
| These weren't always too successful. A campaign in 2001 to petition 17

Feel free to prove me wrong. And remember to include "several references",

You'll have to do the research yourself. If I post the links, you'll
just claim that they don't work.
Peter Köhlmann
Whats the matter, Timmy boy? Still trying to find the first post where
you "corrected Erik F, flatfish, Hadron Quark or DFS" and where that "ended
the matter"?
Why did you want me to engage in that hunting for evidence which obviously
does not exist?

Well, try me. Provide those URLs. I even might repair them, if you post them
in broken format
But naturally you will not do anything of that kind. Because you were lying

Here's one, because I love to see you run when you're wrong. That
happens to be all the fucking time.
Tim Smith saying DFS is wrong:

I'm not going to be bothered to teach you how to use google so you can
validate, the "several" part of Tim's claim, and also the other
posters he claimed to correct. Someone else can do that. Better start
practicing eating crow Petey, cause the proof is there if someone is
willing to spend more time than me.
Peter Köhlmann
Oh, and it "ended the matter" also?
Apart from that he did not even "correct DFS" in whatever way?

Did you read the post? Did you read the responses? He didn't post the
correction, but he posted a hint of what to look for. You'll see in
the responses to his post what he was getting at. It also ended the
matter. You didn't even read any of the other posts in that thread did
you? Good god it must be tough being wrong all the time.

If you can convince me that you've stopped being an idiot, I'll find and
post the links for you. Otherwise, you can find them yourself.

He has corrected me several times. He's very pedantic.

Not that easy to find. You've made 107 posts with 'DFS' in them.

No, it means you have no interest in seeing links. When people post
links for you, your response is usually one of (1) run away, (2) find
some excuse to not read the link, (3) ignore the link and post an insult
about the poster. I once wasted three hours doing exhaustive research
to correct a minor error of yours, and when I posted the results, with
all the sources well documented, your response was to simply quote the
whole post and add one word: "idiot".
Well, you were right. I was an idiot to waste time with you. (And that
wasn't the first time). It won't happen again.

Well, you claimed you "corrected" several of the wintrolls several times.
And that it "ended the matter" then.
You lied.

Will you apologize and admit you were wrong and lied when you are
proven wrong?

You are so completely wrong. Now slink out of this thread like the
java thread, like all threads where you're proven wrong.

There are posts besides those where Tim nailed me on a misstatement.
Tim Smith corrects everyone - Kohlmann the dumbkopf is barking up the wrong
tree. The problem is cola "advocates" spew more idiocy, which keeps Tim
busier dealing with them.

Tim's got a correction problem.
If he has the problem in real life, I would imagine someone would
"correct" him.
I find these little cat-fights pretty tedious, though, even if I get
sucked into 'em now and then.
Man, I'm not so impressed with bittorrent, at least with Fedora mirrors.
Downloading Slackware directly was /much/ faster.

I'm sure there are better corrections than all the ones i posted, but
corrections are corrections and 15 minutes was all I was going to
spend. Petey won't respond now.
