    twitter has exhausted the good will of Slashdot by blatantly gaming the moderation system with so many accounts.

    That, and constantly spitting out lies, fabrications and exaggerated bull doesn't help him. A lot of people who are honest advocates of free software are probably tired of him making them look bad by association.

    No, honestly I don't think he should be given a pass just because he posts something halfway insightful once in a blue moon. And I'd even disagree that this particular post is even close to being that. He usually makes sense only when he's talking about the MPAA and things like that.
