Here's a better version:

It seems to be "advertisers", not "advertisements" (typo copied and pasted
above).

It's actually the message I was interested in. Vista is a mess and Ballmer
reluctantly admits it. Meanwhile, Vista has an advertising budget of 0.9
billion US dollars.
Character is another issue. It's a behavioural pattern that recurs.

I'm posting here instead of below the recent impersonation, because I
don't want to add to it.
This only shows how much you are getting under their skins, and how
effective you have been in promoting Linux, which is the purpose of
this newgroup. It also shows how low they will sink in trying to
destroy this newsgroup as a useful forum and anyone whose message they
don't like.
In cases like this I have noticed that not a single Windows advocate
ever speaks up to condemn this kind of behavior. In this case,
however, Hadron Quark has supported it. Some of the Linux advocates
on this newsgroup exhibit some pretty rude behaviour some times, but
they have never, as far as I have seen, engaged in this kind of
behaviour, by which I mean impersonation, dragging people's personal
lives out for ridicule, and other such (some worse) things.
Best wishes,

I have supported it? WTF are you talking about you asslicking weasel? I
did nothing of the sort - I merely posted a semi-humurous reply. I do
not condone net impersonation and have been the victim of it
myself. Even worse are simpering fops like yourself you try to
ingratiate yourself into people good books by worshipping their shadow.

You do realise that (at least I think) none of it was true? It wasnt
Roy's personal life that was being dragged out - it was a sick joke by
someone. But, Roy, if you can suck your own cock, thats pretty
impressive for a computer nerd - most cant even bend down enough to tie
up their shoelaces.

'Hadron',
Thanks for reminding me what a piece (or piss) os shit you are. In my bin you
remain.
Hadron Quark
As usual with crybabies, you can give but can not take. Or, seemingly,
recognise pisstake when you see it. You take yourself *far* too
seriously : whether its justifying right justification or spamming the
NG with totally OT posts about Windows. Had you read the post above you
would see that I condemned the original post. if you cant, then get some
comprehension lessons or get out more into the real world.

When I saw (the real) Roy's reply of "This isn't me" (paraphrased, can't
recall the exact wording), I was considering replying with something along
the lines of "Don't worry, I doubt anyone would actually think this was
written by you, Roy." but decided it didn't add enough value to the thread,
and like you, I didn't want to add to it unless I really did have something
valuable to contribute.
That being said, for the record, I'll state that I condem that
behaviour. I thought it'd be obvious that I wouldn't approve of it, but I
find a lot of things I thought would be obvious about my positions turn out
not to be so obvious on this newsgroup. So there, I've said it: I don't
approve.
I'll go one step further, and tell you, Roy, to persevere. Obviously,
someone out there doesn't like you or your viewpoints, but rather than
agreeing-to-disagree, or addressing your viewpoints, they decide to
anonymously attack your character. That's completely childish, and no
rational person would have their opinion of you swayed in anyway by those
attacks. Just ignore them. That they would resort to such tactics shows
their desperation and your success.

Dear Oliver,
I really, sincerely appreciate your decency. Sometimes I use the term
"windows advocate" because it's a polite if somewhat inaccurate way of
referring to some of the people who post here. I know you consider
yourself an advocate of choice (the best OS for the purpose), and my
impression of the posts of yours that I've seen is that you are indeed
very balanced and fair.

Yes, I concur. And Roy C's label assignment should probably be
revised/changed. I have always enjoyed discussions with Oliver. Mark feels
very differently about this, but I digress.

I really don't read the vast majority of threads, and I didn't see the post
you're referring to, but I have on several occasions shown my disapproval
of impersonators, and sock puppeteers alike. Not recently, mind you, as I
just don't spend that much time here anymore.
The same thing can be said, however, for Linux advocates failing to express
disagreement with the more rabid Linux zealots, like 7. And it took a huge
fuss not too long ago to get many of the Linux advocates to admit that rex
is full of it most of the time.
The fact of the matter is, I don't feed trolls. I simply ignore them.
Something that most COLA readers should do, and they would go away. If
they didn't get such great responses, they wouldn't do it.

Especially those where you claim some really outlandish stuff and get called
on it, right, Erik?
Those are usually the ones you don't read anymore

Politeness is not (and should not be) related to on or off-topic
posting. I would prefer it if everyone were polite, but they're not.
Some polite people post on-topic, some post off-topic.
I'm afraid that I find Mr Wong's logic, well, not logical, much of the
time. An example of this would include the claim that (paraphrasing):
Windows Vista is not just a service pack for NT5, because you have to
/pay/ for it.
At best, it is a circular (and thus pointless) argument, at worst, it
shows a naivety and lack of comprehension of the business world well
beyond the call of duty for any advocate of a lock-in model.

Because your average buyer does not know Steve Ballmer.
Oprah Winfrey 'recommends Windows Vista^tm'
[hands exchanging money /]
Sadly, many people choose to embrace what supports their current habit
(Windows never involved a choice as it was merely out there or forcefed
'from above'). I still see many people who preach in favour of Bill Gates,
arguing that he is a nice guy who gives money to charity.

The level of abuse in quark's response does demonstrate the problem
rather well. I am very much of the view that Hadron Quark is one of our
better-known homophobes, that being Gary Stewart, aka flatty, but I'll
leave it to Peter K to confirm.

I'd venture that this is not flatfish (probably). Also, most of the
wintrolls are homophobes. This comes quite naturally with the business of
being exceptionally stupid
The posting style and the headers don't match flatbrains usual posts
But I have seen similar posts/headers in the recent past with other nyms.
This "Hadron Quark" character has posted before, under different nyms.
Maybe one should search for those, but currently I simply settle for filing
this idiot a just another widiot and oxygen thief

LOL! This, from the twat who came in here and immediately started KF'ing
advocates who dared say anything that displeased him.
What a fscking hypocrite!
No surprise 'Hadron' aligned himself with that scum Funkenbusch...

He seems a lot like Larry the Message ID guy, to me. Definitely someone
who's been around before, though.

What's the anagram? I'm not good at that kind of stuff.

I'm guessing Mark is referring to "hard on", as in an erection. But
given the context, I assume "Hadron Quark" is a reference to the subatomic
particle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadron
FWIW, Mark Kent is an anagram of Merk Tank, where Merk is a Scottish
currency. (Oliver Wong <-> Grovel Wino)
