Most of the articles published seem to be focused on bashing her. I don't see too many articles praising her for all the time, effort and energy she's put in to Groklaw. I don't see too many articles thanking all the folk who help out at helping Groklaw become such a phenominal success. I don't see too many articles pointing out how useful Groklaw has been for explaining the legal documents being filed by SCO and IBM and the rest.
This entire site comes across as a very impressive astroturf campaign. One part nicely timed web-site, One part bruised ego's, Shake, stir and wait.

And this doesn't strike any of you people as suspicious????? Further followed by SCO deciding that they really don't need prosco or scoinfo or whatever. I mean Darl has shot his mouth off before with threats that haven't been followed thru, but this all just doesn't smell right.
It may be a giant co-incidence, in which case Jeff you have my advance apology; But it all comes across way too nicely timed, too pat, for me to feel even remotely comfortable with the apparent goals of the site.
Here we see actions speaking at the same volume as the words and they do look like a serious effort at astroturfing to undermine PJ as a respected authority. "PJ is evil because she moderates" goes the cry of the masses. So lets all ignore the rest of what she has done, and continues to do - FOR FREE - in both senses of the word - and focus purely on this one distraction.
Looks a LOT like a quite sophisticated astroturf in that light doesn't it. [ Parent ]
