Maureen O'Gara No Longer Welcome at LinuxWorld
flood6 writes "On the heels of yesterday's article about unrest at LinuxWorld, editor James Turner is reporting in his blog that Sys-Con Media has decided to purge Maureen O'Gara from the print and online publications." From the post: "Sys-con Media listened to what I and my fellow editors, their advertisers and the readership was saying, and made the correct decision. Maureen O'Gara's bylined material will no longer appear anywhere in the Sys-con universe of sites or publications. We have received this commitment in writing from Fuat Kircaali, the publisher." PJ at Groklaw also has commentary on this development.
That's sort of like kicking Michael the hell out of Slashdot.
Nah Nah Nah Nah,
Hey Hey Hey
GOODBYE!
And please don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
'n good riddance
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
Always out to keep the Scottish Man down.
O'Gara, dug your hole deep, now lets see you get out of it.
"God of Rock, thank you for this chance to kick ass. "

ive not read her stuff but if she overlooked sco's case's weaknesses, what the hell did she write about? what is it about her blank pages that make them so much better than anybody elses?
What is reprehensible and really hard to stomach is that she stooped to such lows as attacking Ms. Jones privacy.
Reminds me of the methods of a science fiction space opera nut cult.
Naahhhh, she'll resurface on Free Republic posting under the handle "fudskank" and after she explains how the liberal media silenced her will end up as a tech commentator for Fox News. She'll be a perfect complement for Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter.
cheap labor conservatives - they want to keep you hungry enough to be thankful for minimum wage.
her writings represent the equivalent of a crack whore in San Franciscos Tenderloin district offering a blowjob for $7.95 (incl. sales tax).
Where in San Francisco is this Tenderloin district you speak of?

SCO, MOG et al have been trying to destroy GrokLaw for some time now. And with one bit of good news, Slashdot does the dirty work for them...

Upon consideration; you're right, AC.
I hereby apologise to all hard working San Francisco crack whores for my truely unfair statement. Girls, you shine in comparison with Ms. O'Gara!

Hokey statistics and ancient misconceptions are no match for a good thought in your head, kid!
This idiot's post is modded "insightful"?
I guess Maureen doesn't have a job, so she's modding

Yes, it's true. This man has no dick.
Well, that's what I heard!

No, who is she REALLY?
I mean, where does she live? (pictures please!) Where does her mother live? (yes, more pictures!). What is her religion and what can be found in the back seat of her car?
If we are going to explain who someone is we should at least use high journalistic standards in finding that out. I'll bet no one has even gone through her trash.
Pathetic.
I just now read that article she wrote. I think it's the first thing by her I've ever read. Someone copied it into a comment on slashdot.
She really reminds me of the gossip columnists in a Howard Hawks comedy of the 30's or 40's. It's weird how she takes you back.
Those were fun films, but I had assumed the somewhat stock characters were a parodies. I guess there ARE people who talk/write like that.
But I'd expect her to write for a paper called _The Tattler_.
I do not believe the world works the way you think it does...
hey, get back to coding over at groklaw.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.

Wait. Who is this Maureen person, and why do we care about Peter Jackson's personal details? And what does it have to do with SCO and Linux??? All I care about is whether The Hobbit will ever get made.
How could O'Gara comment on the furnishings of the apartment, and know the details of phone calls made, if she did not obtain illegal entry into the apartment
Unlike the basement of one's parents, people's apartments quite frequently have relatively transparent aperatures called windows. Perhaps she looked in through one of those. As an aside, sometimes these "windows" are left open to allow "air" to flow through as well.

No, but the phone company also isn't releasing one particular phone number and address at a time in which an enraged minority element may do them physical harm.
Response 1: Thulium doesn't migrate quickly across telephone connections.
Response 2: Who are you calling a "minority element," you *&!!$%! astroturfer, and what makes you think I'm enraged?
Response 3: Yo' Mater!
Lighten up. You have a point, but public figures give up some rights to privacy, and O'Garra certainly wants to be public. She'd probably enjoy talking dirty, er, I mean communicating with a bunch of heated young males. And unless she's got a server, that's the most harm she'll get from Slashbots.
