KDE Infiltrated

It has happened before. A new operating system to rival Windows was
being developed, along with FreeBasic. Microsoft reported that certain
old, possibly buggy, and useless source files had been "stolen" from a
core-dump, and published on the Internet.

The team surrounding FreeBasic were infiltrated, the original files
for the new system were deleted, and the Microsoft files substituted.
The team was accused of plagiarism. The project collapsed.

Now, at KDE, the infiltration has also taken place.

I offered to put some of my compression technology in the public
domain. This is much in the same vein as C-Cube making JPEG public
whilst keeping MPEG private. I was immediately ATTACKED, and spammed
with invitiations to "UNSUBSCRIBE".

Character-assassination began at once. I was accused of being a "nut"
who set out to "disprove General Relativity", by a "developer" who
obviously knew nothing on the subject of Relativity. There is NO
General Relativity. I was explaining WHY there is no General
Relativity - which Einstein spent his life seeking. Einstein found
SPECIAL Relativity, which I did not seek to "disprove".

There is no point in answering these self-designated "Trolls". Their
purpose is DISRUPTION, to help Microsoft.

They always have a glib excuse. For example, they will say that
"General Relativity" was a MISTAKE, that they MEANT "Special
Relativity", and then continue with their character-assassination, and
their "mistakes". They do not need accuracy. The "work" of these self-
styled "KDE Developers" has NOTHING to do with KDE development. They
do NOT develop products. They sabotage those who are doing so.

The "moderator" allowed all these malicious, off-topic postings.

Then somebody asked my about KAuth. I wrote that I do not know KAuth,
"but please tell the site owners that I am being spammed".

The "moderator" does not want the site owners to know that they have
been infiltrated. He stopped my reply.

The excuse was that my statement "I do not know KAuth" was off-topic
(where KAuth, I believe, is a KDE application). In reality, it was
stopped because I tried to pass on the message "You have been
inflitrated", by mentioning the malicious spam.

After that, I was "UNSUBSCRIBED" against my wishes by "person or
persons unknown". That is how they smash up the competition - by
stopping progress.

Kde is not and I hope never will be an Operating System. That said, your
rant is interesting and no surprise (knowing that MS' cultural mindset
tells them they were born to rule the planet). I'd love to have ten
bucks for every time their piece of shit overwrote my boot code during
installation. It would help if you told us what web facility all this
transpired on but I think it would have been a closed web-forum. If so
it would go to show ONCE MORE that all linux fans should without
exception discuss linux only on open usenet where nothing is easy to
step on.
