What I really like about the blog is that, almost from the beginning,
the author lets us know his agenda with words like "trolls". And, just
to make his point with his non-cognizant readers, he quotes Gregory
Smith as just another "anti-systemd-troll", instead of as a guy all of
the anti-systemd people have repudiated and disavowed all alliance with.
Have all the anti-systemd people repudiated Gregory? Here is one who
embraces him as part of the fold:

    Gregory, please don't do this. It hurts the credibility of the entire
    group who agrees with you 100% on the issues. There are enough *facts*
    about systemd, Poettering, Sievers and Redhat to logically and
    completely make your point.

The group "agrees with you 100% ....". Does that look like "repudiation"
and "disavowed all alliance with"?

It seems more like trying to get someone to toe the Party line.



Just for the record, just because someone is a little over-the-top in his language, doesn't make him wrong.
