"another blog, which does not care to keep up the quality of

Trolls have one of those. It's called FOSSpatents.

especially the compen$ated ones, aren't happy Preaching to the Choir, but must
be seen as Spreading their Gospel to the Unwashed Masses. FM does it in a
"blog", others by anonymous comments in other folks blogs. Few are
willing to sign their names. Anonymity, freedom of expression, factual content,
and reasoned arguments, are still valued here at groklaw; commodities which are
becoming rare in this era of Creeping Fascism.

"If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we
don't believe in it at all.." - Noam Chomsky

Just look at what they scream about. There's usually something useful you
can take away from it.

The more upset they get, the more likely you've hit the jackpot.
