It's kinda funny that everytime I post something about Rob being fired from IBM it gets edited. In fact, this has to be at least the 5th time my posts have been edited because I mentioned he was fired from IBM. I wonder why? I mean it is true. He was fired from IBM. Subsucent that, he started his business there and become vengeful toward them. I wonder if he edits these posts himself. (btw, I'll be amazed if this post ever makes it.)

From Rob Enderle:

One of the things that troubles me a great deal about the Open Source
movement is the tendency for character assassination. If you say
something they don't like they will fabricate stories about you that are
virtually impossible to disprove. One of the reasons that, here in the
US, the legal system puts the burden of proof on the prosecution is that
it is almost impossible to prove a negative. Had I been fired from IBM
I could prove that, I'd likely still have the termination latter, but
since I resigned (actually starting at Dataquest the Monday after my
last day at IBM) there is no termination letter and, unlike the military
IBM doesn't issue an "honorably discharged" paper.
|
This is the kind of thing that thugs do, they use blackmail to force the
outcome they want, and in this case, the threat is clear: "Stop saying
the things you are saying or we will find a way to destroy you".
|
I find it fascinating that an organization can be this disingenuous,
for, while these Open Source advocates seem to advocate "freedom" what
they actually do is use force to insure that the only freedom you have
is the freedom to agree with them, making another word more appropriate
"oppression".
|
So much like this group says of SCO, if I was fired, where is the proof?
If you know who fired me you should be able to name names and a
termination letter would exist. Since I wasn't and it doesn't this is a
lie that proves you to not only be no better then you allege SCO to be,
but arguably worse because they actually do have evidence and,
apparently are telling the truth. (Doesn't mean they will win, but it
does suggest you are worse then you allege them to be).
|
I have been and continue to be a member of the IBM advisory council; it
would seem strange that someone that was fired as these thugs and liars
allege would be retained in this way. I suppose I should be thankful
that so far the threats of violence have been just that, as they clearly
are executing on their threats of character assassination.
