He does a lot of harm. It's hard to quantify it in a meaningful way though.
SCO did a lot of harm for a long time too, and that's the best relation I can
think of.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

People do take him seriously. That's why they
quote him.
AntiFUD is core for Groklaw. I wrote about
Get the Facts, after all, even though everyone
here knew already that it was ridiculous. But
those who are not techies took it seriously,
at the time, and the media wrote about it as
if it were credible. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

... just because of the rumors?
Here's one rumor I keep running across
as an example:
Google sues others for patent infringement!
Yet, every
time I ask for evidence in the means of a Lawsuit where Google has claimed
patent infringement - the evidence is never provided.
I wouldn't at all
be surprised if there are those who dislike Google simple because they never
bother to find out if what they're being told is actually true.

Many of the best proponents of propaganda in the world still follow Goebels
principle of '..an ounce of
truth in a buket of bull***'
When inundated with manure, most
average citizens will latch onto that ounce of truth like a drowning man
cluthing at a straw - and will ignore the filth they are floating in as a means
of preserving themselves.
By flooding the marketplace with propaganda of
the highest order, Muller and his paymasters know that eventually the average
citizen will be unable to determine truth from fiction, and that they will then
have a free hand to shape perceptions and opinions to their own
ends.
Remember it is not 'truth' that matters it is
accepted truth that makes a difference to history - that is why
Groklaw's 'Digging for Truth' is so important. PJ is moving aside the unsavoury
overburden to expose the allow people to see the truth.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
