SayNO2STEAM is a hero or victim of Persecution?
I think he is a little bit of both.
He dares to point out the facts that many people dare not see and he is
brave enough to confront waves and waves of rude remarks of arrogant
Developer's fanboys who is the majority this newsgroup.
He is still fighting this lonely struggle against hordes of minions of
fervent and fanatic rich, spoilt acid-tongued sarcastic childish
fanboys.
He is the only one who sees the imperfection of some unecessary
applications when majority of people are blindly denied it due to their
trendy and fanatic worship of some over-hyped Developers. (The Emperor's
New Clothes syndrome, he is the only one sees that the Emperor is
actually naked.).
He does not deserve the persecution he gets from this newsgroup.
Society needs people like him, who sees the imperfection behind the
lacquered glory of establishments to fight for consumers' rights despite
the facts that there are some consumers who are willingly surrender that
right to get the vanity of being a favorite pets of some Developers.
Consumers rights must triumph over the Vanity of Fanboys.

I agree. He does not deserve some of the responses he gets. But
sometimes he makes ridiculous and outrageous statements which only
serve to weaken people's respect for him and their willingness to read
what he is saying and to think about it. Instead of a considered
response, you get a knee-jerk "It's Difool, it must be rubbish".

When he makes sense I have entered into discussion with him, sometimes
in agreement, sometimes not. When he writes gibberish, I have told him
so. Sometimes, it is not even worth replying. When others attack him,
unnecesarily (IMO), I tell them so.

I use the same approach for everyone on this NG.

"Feed the troll"? From his nick, I would guess it's the troll himself.

To be honest, I've dismissed him as a troll and KF'ed him ages ago, due to
the fact that just about every post he makes is gibberish, crossposted and
usually includes groups which have no relevance to Steam or HL2. If that
isn't trolling, then what is?
I don't see him as either a victim or a hero. After all, he does bring it
upon himself.

That is some of the funniest things I have ever heard. You can tell TONE
from a sentence on your computer screen. SENTENCE STRUCTURE, would you care
to show us how the sentence structure is different and please provide
specific examples and how this 'proves' it is not the same person.

Headers are different if he is using a different ISP, pretty easy to find
free or cheap newsgroup services.

You don't need to be a cunning linguist to analyse the differences.
DiF***wit is not a native English speaker, or if he is he is rather
backward, his spelling and grammar is terrible and every sentence is
completely insane and ends with an exclamation mark. The OP was
talking bollocks, but at least it was coherent bollocks.

You have my respect, Mr. Chadwick.

DiFool would've crossposted it, used exclamation points after every
sentence, and completely ignored the conventions of capitalisation and
sentence structure. ;)

I would like to confirm that I am not Mr. "sayN02STEAM" (formerly known as
"DiFool").
I would like to express that I have no connection with Mr. DiFool nor I am on
his paycheck.:)
The only connection I have with him is a common philosophical and social point
of view regarding Consumers' Rights.
Hope This Clear Up Some Suspicion, Confusion.
Regards,
STEAMMadman.

Maybe he's evolved into a very sneaky and intelligent troll?

Right, what am I thinking??? I will now retract my earlier statement
and agree with Andrew and others. :)
