What is this group about ?
savid...@googlemail.com
Is about seeing how abusive you can get to other members ?
If it's about advocating Linux then who are you advocating it to ?
How many people who do not post to this group do you think read it ?
Does it really serve any purpose ?

If we wish to reduce our ignorance, there are people we will
indeed listen to. Trolls are not among those people, as trolls, more or

Your so right!
Description of comp.os.linux.advocacy (C.O.L.A.), it serves no useful
purpose.
* The purpose of comp.os.linux.advocacy is to serve as a
forum for windows bashers and unrelated topics.
* comp.os.linux.advocacy is not a support group. Support
questions are off-topic. comp.os.linux.advocacy is a
troll group.
* Cola loons** ensure that their posts are littered with lots of swear
words.

Do you mean like this Rafael?
This is an example of:
[quote]
7.6 Trespasser Disinformation Tactics [continued]
[6.] When your tactics are turned on you, call you opponents
trolls. Do not accept the fact that by calling someone using
your tactics a troll that makes you the real troll.
[/quote]
[quote]
7.6 Trespasser Disinformation Tactics [continued]
12. Blame your stupidity and lies on your opponent. Blame
your own stupidity on the Linux advocate you are dealing with.
Such as when you have made an unsupportable claim that suggest a
list of details and your are asked to present your non-existent
list reply with, "I don't have to list them for you; you aren't
bright enough to know what you're missing by using X instead of a
real Y, I'm not going to explain it to you." Then hope that
nobody reading the thread realizes that your statement translates
as, "I lack the knowledge or facts needed to counter your
position or your position is too complete and accurate to be
refuted. So, I will say things to sound superior to avoid
admitting you are right."

I'm sure you can cite the exact law that was broken. Surely there
was a law in Jan-1997 that specifically mandates what software
needs to work with which browsers.
Run along idiot. Once again you prove that you have no clue.

What unfair advantage retard? There were 100's of products that
were shipped at the same time as a major new release of Windows.

Rather sad that this Wintroll cannot respect the person, but must
attack the poster with insults such as "idiot", "retard", "you
have no clue", "take your weekly shower", etc.
These are examples of:

Subject: 3.4 The nasty Troll
If anyone does anything which will interfere with the troll's
ability to cause mayhem, they can become very nasty, posting from
obviously incorrect variations of the name etc. insults, call
them netcops, netnannies, homosexuals.
Subject: 4.11 They read newsgroups
That they read newsgroups is on the face of it obvious. They are
thus privy to any discussions about countermeasures. It is clear
that they adjust what they do to reduce the effect of
countermeasures, and further their general aims.

For crying out load!!! I'm real, okay!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonverbal_learning_disorder
should give you some concept of why I phrase things
so oddly.
For those aren't following the link, I have a problem
called 'Non-verbal Learning disorder' a name that
fails to explain the LD its self.
Essentially I run entirely on the language regions of
the brain without much knowledge of how those with
more balanced psyches communicate.
