Slashdot

The following is the list of users I believe are paid microsoft trolls, I may keep this up to date if I can be bothered.

KingRob (698441) --A paid troll who seems to be posting from a script.
stubear (130454) --A pro-microsoft troll who blames hardware for software problems. He seems to have a good idea about technology though. He is either on the payroll or has been listening to too much MS BS.

It seems microsoft or some PR group working for microsoft is paying people to troll on /.
Just look at this from a story on a LSH root explot ( a GNU replacement for OpenSSH ):

'Another week, another bug, another thread bashing Microsoft for software weaknesses.
When will Slashdot moderators *get it* ?

All software has bugs! Due to popularity, some software bugs are more actively sought that others.'

Whats wrong with that?

1) The story wasn't anything to do with microsoft. Microsoft have nothing to do with LSH, or OpenSSH.
The poster didn't read the story, the poster didn't understand the basics of the story.

2) It's a generic kind of statement that fits in on any microsoft bashing story. The fact it was used as a reply to the totally wrong story would seem to show that whoever wrote that wasn't the same person as whoever posted it.

3) Who would be pro-software bugs on /. anyway??
What kind of person would setup a user account on slashdot and make excuses for bugs in software unless they were paid to. When did you last see someone -defending- a bug in the linux kernel. People don't defend poor quality, they fight to fix it.

I conclude that microsoft has paid trolls on /. defending the evil empire against both justified and unjustified attack.
