Retarded Engineer
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, August 31 2012 @ 10:13 AM EDT

Wow, that guy is an engineer? I would like to know whatever his patent is so I can steer clear of it. This guy is truly brainless. Whatever he invented must be dangerous!

Maybe he has a patent on the BSOD.

"there has not been more outrage"
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, August 31 2012 @ 02:48 PM EDT

For some of us, you're not going to get any more outrage then we've shown.

By outlining the situation and what we see wrong with it and our belief that the case should be declared invalid as a result:

    That is our "outrage".
It's called a civilized, responsible response to an unpleasant situation.

Would it gain anything if I started ranting on the street, highly emotionally, of the situation? Other then to have people look at me strangely and completely discount anything I'm saying as "I'm a nut" - there is nothing to be gained. No positive value - only harm - to be gained with such behavior.

On the other hand, we (the collective we of Groklaw regulars) have seen where some of the very valid points have been made in Courts of Law from the plaintiff/defendant to the Supremes - I think I recall a reference to Groklaw in the Supremes authoring once. Or perhaps I'm mis-remembering and am thinking of a different site - that's happened also, a reference from the Courts to very reasoned logic made in other blogs.

The point is:

    Reasoned, calm discussion is generally considered far more seriously then a ranting diatribe.
Some of us have learned that. So you won't get anything more emotional from those of us who have learned it.

As a side-note: all the points you have covered have been quite thoroughly covered in plenty of comments to this article.
