Fabian's first error:

Assuming that a Slashdot 'debate' actually is one.

I have read the article

[mondoterrifico]

and can summarize it for you.
He basically makes the point that everyone on slashdot is a clueless twit.
A very wise man indeed. :)

Re:Why does he stress himself?

Can you mod troll/flamebait a whole article?

Mr. Pascal seems to be quite the cunning-linguist.

A real master debater.

Shoot he should understand an alias! What is really an userid in a database, huh? ;-o

PS: Database Debunk... I do not see debunking, just pushing to buy a book or two.

Another summary

[pubjames]

I also read the article. My summary is as follows:

Fabian Pascal is a twit.

Seriously, it wasn't an argument anyways...

[Vthornheart]

When someone calls you a Communist in a dismissive manner on a bulletin board, that signifies that you have won the argument. It's a variant of the classic "Comparison to Nazis/Hitler" BBS rule. The people arguing against Paschal unleashed the dirty C word on him as their defense, hence they lost the argument. There's no need to defend yourself against it! =)

Nonsense!

Politics + Programming = GNU

It is the perfect combination. Politics and Sex on the other hand... baaad combination.

A scientist newbie on the net..

[SlashDread]

Nothing to see here, move along..

Shouldn't it be "RINS"?? That's what it says on the web site: "Rens Is Not Sql".
