a) To make the exact same point in multiple posts in order to make their opinions appear legitimate to casual, uninformed readers.

b) Used to redirect discussion of any issues they deem hurtful to whatever cause and/or master they serve.

c) Used to make it appear as if their opinion is shared by many others, when in fact it isn't.

d) Used as a last resort used to drown out discussion of issues by shouting them down (see crapflooding).

cc10: IBM's counter claim ten, fully briefed as of 2004-09-15 in which they ask the court to rule that Linux in no way infringes upon SCOX copyrights.

Enderrism - The habitual mention of the words terrorism, violence, torture, kill, and zealot when Rob Enderle writes or speaks about linux or open source.

Endermeme - The use of Enderrism to plant unpleasant memes for anything linux or open source.

Examples:

I watched the tapes of the Nuremburg experiments that showcased how people put in positions of authority could be ordered to torture and kill other people and that the majority of those tested in the study failed the "humanity" test. Groups of people can do really bad things and not failing the humanity test became a personal goal.

 Stop for a moment and take the macro view, how does the behavior of the Linux attack force that has been focused on SCO and Microsoft really differ from other hate groups. If I even named these groups I would lose you so I won't, but isn't the behavior similar?

And of course the Canopy exec team
