Ellison knows it's juvenile and unprofessional and does not care. That is his schtick.
Yes, he is known for this kind of thing. Works for him apparently and has been for many years. It's not like he is able to 'fail' in a lot of senses of the word anymore; he is rich beyond believe, he has great business sense, he is a winner on a number of levels. Why would he care about anything, especially anything said in the tech community?
Agreed.
This is a really weird press release for Oracle to serve from their flagship website. Even the Notch v Bethesda back & forth was orders of magnitude more civil…
For one, Notch vs Bethesda operated at several fewer orders of magnitude.
Secondly, Notch is playfully avoiding a lawsuit. Oracle is settling a score.
I for one would pay double to witness an Ellison vs. Lynch q3a showdown.
This! We'll watch it on Chill.com and serve e-popcorn
