SCO - EV1, Licensees, Groklaw, Armed Guards

Camel Pilot writes "It looks like the CEO of EV1Servers underestimated the reaction to giving in to SCO demands and licensing Linux. I know we were looking for a new hosting home, and had EV1 at the top of the list, but now they are not even a consideration..." An anonymous reader writes "InfoWorld has an article with more info on Computer Associates denying being a SCO Linux licensee." Also, Mick Ohrberg writes "Pamela Jones, creator of Groklaw, an independent legal research site, responds to some allegations presented by SCO CEO Darl McBride." Finally, an anonymous reader writes "According to the Deseret News, Darl McBride says he sometimes carries a gun because his enemies are out to kill him. He checks into hotels under assumed names. An armed body guard protected him at Harvard Law School when he gave a speech last month." Update: 03/08 20:17 GMT by S : cdlu writes "Now the SEC is unofficially confirming some interest in the SCO and Microsoft connection, according to Newsforge [part of OSDN, like this site]."

OK, i'll bite on this uninformed flamebait.
First point - ad hominem attacks are among the weakest arguments you can make. Accusing Darl of being a Scientologist, Chicken Lover, or a (gasp!) many-wived, behorned mormom all fall under the ad hominem label.
Second point - generalities are often specifically wrong. Labeling all mormons as twisted, irrational sheep following the voices in their collective heads, and for that matter, labeling all Scientoligists in the same way, is a gross manipulation of the truth. Many people demonize followers of Islam, Catholic priests, Voodoo priests, homosexuals who want to get married, (insert least favorite group here), etc. because of the actions of individuals that to belong to a particular group. Calling someone a "fat, slovenly, pasty-faced, Cowboy Neal choosing, caffine addicted, bleary-eyed excuse for a million monkeys typing on a a million typewriters slashdot poster." may be funny, but it is not necesarily true.
Third point - what similarities? Enumerate them, citing official sources. Don't make blanket accusations without specific, verifiable claims.
Fourth Point - Insightful in what way? I know am raging against the Slashdot machine, but what was insightful about that post? Darl is a moron, oops, I mearn mormon? Every single article about SCO posted on Slashdot has the obligitory "Darl is a mormon - they are soooo freaky weird" post. We know already! no new insight has beed added to my dwindling pool of knowledge. Please stop, I beg of you, please stop ignoring logic, reason and rational thought.
Fifth Point - Many mormons disagree with Darl. I am one who does not agree with him at all. I know many others who dislike his attitude. Mormons can have different opinions about various issues. Darl has his, and I have mine.

"Always take at least two mormons fishing with you, because if you only take one, he'll drink all of your beer."

Umm, hello???

Those Mormons as you call them are very open. You can find everything for free. They also submitted everything to the library of congress years ago. Even the things that go on inside the temples. Of course you can't just walk in, just like I don't want you walking in while my wife is having a baby. Nothing secret, just sacred.

And they have never had a history of being racists(someone elses reply to you).

The polygamy crap you see on the news now days, are not the same church.
