The McBride Meltdown.

[Anonymous Coward]

You might have missed the CC, but Darl McBride had a little meltdown where he blamed Groklaw and PJ for the sorry state of his company.

See for instance cbronline

I'll let Elcorton speak, because he can speak for many:

Instead of unsupported innuendo against Pamela Jones, why didn't you talk about the fact that both the judge in the IBM case and YOUR OWN COUNSEL have publicly called you a liar for your fraudulent claims of copyright infringement in Linux? You trotted out that miserable little slug Stowell to announce that you wouldn't talk about specifics of pending litigation, which you then proceeded to do when it served your purpose. But you didn't mention that Judge Kimball, who has seen all the sealed filings that you always said proved your case, was "astonished" to find NO COMPETENT EVIDENCE supporting your public pronouncements of all this misappropriated material in Linux. NONE. So tell us again what was in all those sealed filings that the judge overlooked.

Neither did you mention that your own lawyer Robert Silver said in open court that the AutoZone case has NOTHING TO DO WITH LINUX, after you told your shareholders exactly the opposite in a previous conference call. Is that what you mean be "transparency," Darl?

And who do you think gives a fuck who Pamela Jones "really" is? Was it Groklaw that found a "vast disparity" between your public pronouncements and actual evidence? No, Darl, that was a United States District Judge. Too bad none of the callers today brought that up.

Why doesn't your "transparent" web site, the one that has only facts and no spin, mention the fact that your case against Daimler-Chrysler was DISMISSED as to all but one trivial claim, and that your appeal of the dismissal was DENIED months ago? Is all that set in a transparent font?

You're a better liar but a worse human being than any of the contemptible shills who haunt this board. If you really had anything on Jones you would have used it by now. Who's going to be the next victim of a "heart attack" that later turns out to be a bullet in the head with "no possibility of murder?" Anybody who stands up to that has courage. You disgust me, you cowardly little crooked prick.

As the cbronline author notes:

"So who is Pamela Jones? McBride would not say. "We're still digging to the bottom of this. I think once we have all of the facts complete we'll be glad to do [share] that," he said. Perhaps the bigger question might be why SCO, a company McBride claimed is "steadfastly focused on winning in both the court room and in the market place" is so concerned with what a small community web site thinks about its claims."

Indeed.

Some think this Groklaw attack was just redirection to get eyes off the bad numbers. I think it's much more than that. This is another sign of utter DESPERATION from the SCOXE crew. They're fucked, they know it... and now it's time to blame someone else.
