What's Bob Sutor afraid of?

On Bob Sutor's blog (<http://www.sutor.com/newsite/blog-open/>), every
article currently on the front page allows comments, except for one.
That one is about criticism of Microsoft's Open XML patent pledge.

Is he afraid that someone will point out that IBM's patent pledge has
exactly the same problems? Of course, it is just a coincidence that IBM
is his employer...

It's interesting how your blog, and to a lesser extent Brian Jones'
blog, contain links to blogs from the other side, whereas people like
Weir and Sutor only link to blogs on their side.

A good rule of thumb is that the side that is not bullshitting is not
afraid for people to see the other side's arguments.

No need - we all know micoshaft patent pledge is an oxymoron.
And about as corrupted as micoshaft claims on Linux patent infringement.
And about as anti-trust as funding SCO to do patent trolling.

Micoshaft has not done any work on making patent pledges to open
source movement, or making it absolute watertight and irrevocable
for an important ISO approval process.

Everything they have engaged in is fraudulent and they are now
under investigation for fraud.

Which is presumably why Sutor has blocked comments, to prevent people
like you and Smith from astroturfing all over his blog, just like you
try to do here, in COLA. Having an alternative view is one thing, but
AFAICT most of the trolls; shills and astroturfers have nothing other
than deceitful spin, are much too close to the source to be credible,
and so have a vested interest in trying to bury the truth, which they
seem to do with prolific zeal. Just ask Smith, who's apparently taken
up a position as a professional creep, stalking Roy all day. Will you
be joining him in his new venture, I wonder?

Seriously, that's nuts. Blocking comments with personal attacks is one
thing, but blocking simply because I disagree is not cool. Also, Bob Sutor
made another article about ODF Alliance and this post has also had comments
disabled. I believe this blocked comment was my second post to his blog -
ever. It's not like I'm a daily annoyance to his blog.

Btw - Rick Jelliffe has also blocked comments to his posts about OOXML ...
I dissagree with this as well. There is a reason why we call the tools
"blogs" and not "bulletin-boards" ... it's the conversations that matter.

:o)

Perhaps you can do what Roy cannot--post proof of this claim.

Roy's sole "evidence" is that when he posts messages on forums that I
read, I sometimes see them and respond.

The bad Microsoft language:

New versions of previously covered specifications will be separately
considered for addition to the list.

The good IBM language:

IBM will evaluate new versions or additional specifications for
inclusion based on their consistency with the objectives of this
pledge which is to support widespread adoption of open
specifications that enable software interoperability for our
customers, and may, from time to time, make additional pledges.

Can you explain to us, please, why the first is bad and the second is
good?

More bad Microsoft language:

The OSP does not apply to any work that you do beyond the scope of
the covered specification(s).

and IBM's good language:

IBM irrevocably covenants to you that it will not assert any
Necessary Claims against you for your making, using, importing,
selling, or offering for sale  Covered Implementations [...].
Covered Implementations" are those specific portions of a product
(hardware, software, services or combinations thereof) that
implement and comply with a Covered Specification and are included
in a fully compliant implementation of that Covered Specification.

Please explain how pointing out that the Microsoft language and the IBM
language say the same thing is "deceitful spin".

How about, what's Bob Sutor (And everyone else) tired of?

Really, advocating OOXML is quite a low thing to do by now. We do not
need more than one standard and MS' attempt to take over the ISO are
all but harming ISO, ECMA and MS' images.

Regarding to your strawman about IBM's OSP being the same as MS',
here's a little gift from you: IBM and Sun both have implemented the
specs under the GPL, MS hasn't , as a matter of fact, all what MS got
about the GPL in the OSP FAQ is actually a long, complicated way of
saying "If a developer wants to use the GPL to implement this spec, it
is HIS problem".

Anyways I find something that's quite funny, MS and friends are
attempting to look like everybody is biased against them, it is a
fallacious argument, but still... Even if IBM and Sun's actions were
equal to MS (and they aren't) the FLOSS community got plenty of
reasons for this 'bias' , MS got a heck load of precedents of abusive
behavior, and betrayal. As a matter of fact, although MS would like to
appear otherwise, they have not changed at all, all the Novell and
other distros' deals, behavior with Silverlight and OOXML, for example
show that we still got the old, abusive MS among us attempting to be
our feudal lord by adding taxes to the usage of computer hardware.

You're speaking for yourself. Timmy and others are relentless trolls
and stalkers. They might even be recognized quickly by those they've
trolled and stalked repeatedly, even when they try to game the system
by changing identities.

He may have allowed responses to those areas in the past and been
burned by assholes and jerks who abuse the opening. If I was doing it
I'd imagine I'd close either certain topics or all of it after being
hit by the South Park Retard Gang, as led by Timmy. Since allowing /no/
comments would lead to a total lack of interest by anyone eventually,
the next best tactic would be to close off certain topics that draw the
maggots in.

Why not write to him and ask about it in a reasonable manner. You may
find his response deals with something along those lines. Or maybe
he'll assume that your writing to him about it might point to you being
in with the same 'Tard crowd, and ignore the query.

It's the same with Eliot Spitzer. Ordinarily no one would take such
joy in the downfall of a man, but when you're that hypocritical things
begin to change. Open-minded people who admit they're not perfect
generally garner a little more sympathy. Whether it was a specific
attack or Roy was just unlucky, seeing someone who is completely
unwilling to bend on issues, even in the face of evidence to the
contrary, get their comeuppance brings a sort of satisfaction to most
people.

Come on Linonut.
Can't you see the difference between Jesper's blog and Sutor's blog?
It doesn't matter which side they are on, personally I want an open
standard, but look at both sites.

Jesper offers his opinions, shows and allows what the other side is
interested in doing and discusses it, like an honest blogger should.

Can the same be said of Sutor?

I don't think so.

So do I.
Not because he got hacked, that can happen to anyone but because he is a
dishonest, pompous, self serving asshole who is using this and other groups
as his own playground and for his own financial gain.

Yes. An even better rule of thumb is that the side that is exposing the
corruption will be attacked by the other side, because the other side is
corrupted and tries to bury the truth. Guess which side Smith is on.

If Microsoft can resort to legal harassment before one of the biggest frauds in

Roy Schestowitz has gone made. He is making a laughing stock of the OSS
movement.

A couple weeks bed-rest is what you need.

I've already dropped the filter that scores up posts with my name in the
subject line (match " roy " or " sche"). It encouraged the trolls to post
insults about me and stick them as headlines into all sorts of places.

And that makes it true or course.

This is a perfect example of how and why you piss people off Roy
Schestowitz.
You liken yourself to be superior to others to the level where you are even
volunteering to think for them.

What an arrogant SOB you are Roy Schestowitz.

Of course you won't.
That's because you can't.

You can't prove most of the babble you spew.
You are so arrogant you just expect people to take it at face value without
checking your sources.

Yea.
In a loony bin.

Now Roy Schestowitz is offering to think for other people.

The arrogance of that guy is amazing.

"Shut up Kier, the adults are talking *slap*".

And you wonder, Roy Schestowitz, why people detest you so much?

And we are supposed to believe a lying wanker like you? The same man
you knowingly left a virus magnet on his own website in order to infect
visitors?

Because you are a liar and have no such proof.

I change the subject, since the question is a side issue rather than
part of the thread, usually. I leave the references, though, so it
won't start a completely new thread.

It's because you're a scumbag and a liar.

Glad your sleazy website was hacked. You got what you deserve.

Actually I did just that. I wrote a comment on his blog about the IBM
Interop pledge and we had a couple of email round-trips in the following
days. In each of the emails I wrote to him I politely asked him to publish
my comment but he never did and never commented on my request for
publication of the comment I posted to his blog.

Of course not.
He's a mouthpiece for IBM.

There is nothing wrong with being on one side or another but to have a blog
that discusses a particular issue and then only present one side of the
story is real cheap.

Where is Schestowitz BTW?

More than likely hiding because he can't deal with confrontation.
One way SPAM is the name of the game with him.
