Besides all that I thought Merkey was complaining about Mormons forcing him
to move to New Mexico at one point. I think that was on the LKML... ah,
here's a reply to that post from a Mormon that was offended by his words
thanks to a quick search:

I really don't understand how the person complaining about Groklaw's
treatment of Mormons could be the same one who wrote that LKML post.

Frankly I suspect the fact that Novell and SCO are in Utah is the only
reason that Mormons keep coming up. Their exact beliefs are just not
material to the discussion, or at least shouldn't be. And yes, the judge
in the SCO case is Mormon and there's a good chance the judge hearing
Jeff's case will be too (assuming it is filed in Utah). Is someone trying
to make up for a certain comment about killing judges (yes, I understand
that it might have been in jest but still it was pretty harsh) by painting
himself as a defender of his religion?

And while I'm commenting I have real trouble believing Jeff doesn't know
what a killfile is (hint: it has nothing to do with killing people and
everything to do with ignoring them). Especially since he's probably heard
the word plonk more than the average user.
