I was not aware of that, actually, and I've now removed the link.

For reference, the link is here:

Apparently Mr.Mueller thinks my removal of the link was significant enough to make note of on Twitter. I want to make it clear that my removal of the link was not in any way indicative of my opinion of him or BoycottNovell/TechRights, and I don't appreciate his attempt to imply that it is.

Yesh, what a scuzball.

I didn't make note of it on Twitter for the general public -- I just informed a TechRights skeptic (@verofakto) of it.

Concerning the article you linked to, here's an additional link: http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2010/04/id-rather-discuss-pa...

Anything posted on twitter is for the general public.

It can be read by the general public, but a tweet beginning with @ is shown only to the addressed person and to those who jointly follow the sender and the addressed person. So that's quite different from something that all followers see in their stream automatically.

My reply can be read by the general public, but is addressed to you.

Quit being such a fucktard.
