He doesn't do his homework, his supposed references are other articles on BoycottNovell, and he makes excuses for being so slipshod like "it's just a blog and I don't always have time." Roy, when you make a career out of attacking other people, you better get your facts lined up first. A recent example is when he attacked some Novell devs:
"It must not be neglected that Joseph Hill is — you’ve guessed it — also a Novell employee, just like Jeff Steadfast and other seemingly-independent fans of Mono [Correction: according to the discussion at the bottom, the affiliations are all obvious and publicly known, so this claim is challenged and we remove it with apologies to Jeff]. It often traces back to Novell. There is also the suspicion that they may be using fake accounts to promote this technology and dissolve resistance to it."
He made a correction, but come on-- that's a pretty severe unfounded accusation. Shame.
There is lots more just like this. We need people who are willing to do the hard work of digging into these issues and unearthing the truth. Roy's writings are not reliable, and he is far too willing to throw stones with no basis.
