Groklaw has up an interesting, meticuously documented bit on Miguel de Icaza in the context of RMS’ recent comments.

One of the most interesting points is how absolutely baseless and inane Mr. Perlow’s hit piece on Stallman for ZDNet is – no great surprise to anyone who has actually read it, filled as it is with factual errors, torturted interpretations and logical fallacies – but I always find a point-by-point dismantling of disinformation good reading.

Indeed, it’s nice to see Groklaw bringing their brand of exacting inspection to this issue, even though this surely means we will soon begin to see attacks on Groklaw. They will no doubt follow the same pattern of other pro-Mono attacks – such as those on Stallman and the FSF – but I think Groklaw will be a much less attractive target.

For one thing, PJ has a bit of experience dealing with such nastiness. The irony of course is that she gained it while investigating SCOs attacks on Linux, and will probably be using it for Team Mono and Friends attacks on Freedom now! There’s a certain symmetry to that, I think.

Another thing is that I’ve noticed that the pro-Mono attacks are looking a bit faded lately.

I guess that’s what happens when you keep attacking honest people truly interested in Freedom and your basic weapons are ad hominem and disinformation.
