The next chapter in the Merkey sagaThe next chapter in the Merkey sagaPosted Jul 1, 2005 8:13 UTC (Fri) by jmerkey (guest, #30549)Parent article: The next chapter in the Merkey saga
Several members of the Linux Community have submitted requests for disclosure of the evidence of death threats leveled by Linux and OSS members.
I am providing a limited disclosure of some of the comments which have been posted or emailed to internet websites or myself as examples of inappropriate comments and as a result of perens verbal attacks and those of Groklaw. This does not include the hundreds of comments posted on Groklaw. I am saving those for court ...:
Bruce Perens;
"Kill Him ..."
"We are going to firebomb your house ... "
"You are a crackhead and a f_cking assh_le and I hope someone does away with you."
"I hope you off yourself before you reproduce. That would be a major setback for the species if
"We are going to come to your house, kill your wife and cut her open, and kill your children"
"I hope someone firebombs your house SCO Stooge"
"Go and kiss Marl Dickbrydes ass some more."
Linus Torvalds,
"How about asphxiation then for a soltution to the Merkey problem"
"He smokes peyote and should be put out of his misery"
"A dying breed (we hope)"
"These "kill Merkey" comments do not help. Some clown like Dan Lyons at Forbes may very well use these comments to prove that Linux lovers over at slashdot really are a hateful violent crowd"
"In some circles, if you offer 50K for a thing worth many times more, you have a large chance to get killed due to lack of respect. Merkey must consider himself lucky [to have not been killed]"
These are examples of the thousands of pages of exhibits and comments posted to the internet as a result of perens and Groklaw stories and false allegations I work for SCO, am a spy for SCO and the Canopy Group.
I hope this evidence is enlightening to the interested Linux Community members.

Very nice... do you have a link for each of those statements to identify the origin of each?
The next chapter in the Merkey saga Posted Jul 1, 2005 21:40 UTC (Fri) by jmerkey (guest, #30549) [Link] Fully logged with BATES numbers, downloaded, printed, and verified. Most of them have been up on websites for almost 6 months.
Most of the sites have started taking down the comments and are archiving them for discovery purposes. So you may not be able to find all of them anymore.
Great libel case.

Again, this is not a death threat, cannot possibly be construed as a death threat by anyone with the extensive experience in computers you claim to have, and does not add credibility to your other claims.
Also, willfully changing the context of the comment through the ellipses doesn't help either.
> "Go and kiss Marl Dickbrydes ass some more."
> Linus Torvalds,
In what possible way could those be construed as death threats?
And, as the other poster asked, where are the links to the original source material, if publicly available, so that we can see them in context and unedited?
The next chapter in the Merkey saga Posted Jul 1, 2005 21:41 UTC (Fri) by jmerkey (guest, #30549) [Link] I think all the guns you play with and fire have affected your reasoning.
"HE should be placed in everyones .. kill file"
Sure sounds like a death threat to me, and others, and I am certain it will sound like one to a jury.

The next chapter in the Merkey saga Posted Jul 1, 2005 22:13 UTC (Fri) by Kebron (guest, #30783) [Link] Once again... where do we find the EXACT quote your are giving Sir?
Give us a URL so we can see these quotes.
The next chapter in the Merkey saga Posted Jul 1, 2005 22:17 UTC (Fri) by jmerkey (guest, #30549) [Link]
slashdot.org
and lots of others .....
Try using search. I have noticed that Yahoo legal has responded to my requests and removed all SCOX libelous content with the exeception of comments posted which are identified as evidence.
Slashdot (VA Software) legal already removed and archived the comments and death threats as requested as well.
Merkey.net is continuing as are pagansavage, although they have removed a large portion of libel already.

Get your information straight. There are no quotes there.
As for the rest... give us EXACT URLs where we can find your so called quotes since your information seems not to be reliable Sir.
The next chapter in the Merkey saga Posted Jul 1, 2005 22:36 UTC (Fri) by jmerkey (guest, #30549) [Link] Either you don't understand english or you are too obtuse toundertstand what I said. Go back and read my post again.
Thanks
Jeff
The next chapter in the Merkey saga Posted Jul 1, 2005 22:43 UTC (Fri) by Kebron (guest, #30783) [Link] YOU said: "Merkey.net is continuing as are pagansavage, although they have removed a large portion of libel already."
Obviously they are not continuing... I guess you are the obtuse one... refusing to see what is right in front of your face.
The next chapter in the Merkey saga Posted Jul 1, 2005 22:54 UTC (Fri) by jmerkey (guest, #30549) [Link] Really? Go google "jeff merkey" and look at their google spam links claiming I am a stalker -- more libel, identity theft, and interference with my rights.
Jeff
The next chapter in the Merkey saga Posted Jul 1, 2005 23:26 UTC (Fri) by Kebron (guest, #30783) [Link] Once again.... give us some URLs
merkey.net does not contain anything neither does pagansavage.com
Please give us some exact URLs so we can believe all that you are telling us.

Sorry, the site will be down for a bit; however the usual downloads are still available. Have fun."
Obviously your facts are wrong at this time.

Not to any jurors who have ever participated in Usenet, Yahoo Groups, etc., particularly when the material conveniently omitted by the ellipses is restored and the full quote is present. And not to any jurors regardless of their experience once the concept of a "kill file" in the context of computer messaging is explained.
Or (speculation here) do *you* have a file where you list the names of people you want to kill, and that is the only context in which you can mentally process the term "kill file"?
This is all very interesting and amusing in a perverse sort of way, but I have to go spend some time on something that's important - namely, writing my elected representatives about the Supreme Court's appalling eminent domain decision.
Ciao. CUl8r. 73's. etc.
History repeating itself? Posted Jul 2, 2005 2:03 UTC (Sat) by vnj (guest, #30787) [Link] Let's remember who we are dealing with. Read Judge Anthony W. Schofield's "Findings of Fact" in a case regarding Jeff Merkey:In the 4th Judicial District Court, Utah County, State of Utah Case Number: 970400339 DATED: January 30, 1998 Anthony W. Schofield, Judge FINDINGS OF FACT I find that the following facts have been proven by a preponderance of the evidence: 124. In fact, however, Merkey is not just prone to exaggeration, he also is and can be deceptive, not only to his adversaries, but also to his own partners, his business associates and to the court. He deliberately describes his own, separate reality. 131. While it is human nature for each of us to put our own spin on events which we observe...Merkey nonetheless regularly exaggerates or lies in his comments to others about events happening around him. It is as though he is creating his own separate reality. 135. Given his penchant for creating a separate reality and for deliberate misrepresentation, I find Merkey's claim ... unreliable. Rather, he wanted to have the benefit of both worlds -- his world actually working on a clustering model based upon the Novell architecture -- but also a world in which he could claim that he was not using or misappropriating Novell confidential technical information. 146. Merkey asserts that he did not fit in at Novell because he had a different ethnic or religious background than most of the Novell workers. This claim was not supported by any meaningful evidence. [note: emphasis mine] Sound familiar? There is plenty more. And remember: this is a judge making these statements. I have no idea if Mr. Jeff Merkey's claims are true, but would you trust this guy? You can find the original document here (for a fee) or read a copy at Gorklaw.
