Groklaw Declares Victory, No More Articles

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the mission-accomplished dept.

tomhudson writes "Pamela Jones announced that as of May 16th, she will no longer be updating groklaw: 'I have decided that Groklaw will stop publishing new articles on our anniversary, May 16. I know a lot of you will be unhappy to hear it, so let me briefly explain, because my decision is made and it's firm. In a simple sentence, the reason is this: the crisis SCO initiated over Linux is over, and Linux won. SCO as we knew it is no more."

    Really? Astroturfing? Could you troll any more?

    Showing facts when people show misinformation is only called astroturfing by people who don't like facts.

    SCO later down the line chose to pick on IBM, Groklaw pre-dated that particular decision. Whilst I don't wholeheartedly agree with what PJ said about Google not needing the communities help, in so much as I think it would be valueable for the community to help itself, Linux of 2003 was a world away from Android of 2011.

    First, Groklaw is NOT shutting down. Just that no new articles will be posted. The site will remain running, all the content will still be there, including the proof that you're a shill and a troll.

    Second, the policy is only used to prevent groklaw from becoming a platform for the dissemination of FUD - you know, the stuff you like to spread because you have nothing better to do.

    Third, as another poster asks, what do you do for a living and who pays you? .
