[...] Recently I wrote a rebuttal to a rather bogus article that made up “myths” in order to spread FUD. The author then retaliated like he has on many other sites by posting under several assumed names to rally his point of view (I’ve verified this thanks to David Hammond’s help, who BTW picked out the bogus comments just by eye). The author has been banned from numerous blogs/forums including Mozillazine for spamming his poorly researched articles and using false identities to create his own fan base. [...]

Ok, we now have several “people” Mike G, David Dobsen who are the same person with the same IP address.

Also interesting that it’s believed to be the same IP of the author of the Myths article.

Thanks David Hammond for the help.

Grow up, comments are closed.

After reading all this I have to agree with Thor’s comments. I was directed here from a friend who says this debunks the “Myth Maker”. Yet Robert you don’t refute a single Myth from the page. I can see why people, especially Firefox users got upset about this page until you read the sources. I recommend everyone read the sources! It really opened my eyes. After reading the Myths I tried Opera and low and behold it is faster! I highly recommend everyone give this browser a try. I don’t know why more people are not recommending it? It truely is a gem. I’m now using Opera full time and loving it. Cheers.

I know I’m perhaps overly suspicious, but could these posting in fact all be the same person, i.e. the author of Firefox Myths himself?

Joe Somebody
The Bugster
Thor
Mike G

In which case, bravo! to the person who faked the fakers ID. Well done!

After having been in several long discussions with Andrew K. (the author of the Firefox Myths page), I notice that Mike G’s posting style is nearly identical to Andrew K’s. I should also mention that he has posted under many different names on various sites, all claiming to be someone different from Andrew K., but all determined (via I.P. checks, etc.) to be him. Some of the names include: Mastertech, GeneralAres, FFeLEET, Mastermind, Realist, and chiawaikian. Under all of these names, at one point or another, he has pretended that he wasn’t the author or outright lied about it. He also has an extensive history of trolling and ban evasion.

Just a heads-up.

This page just provides opinions and no facts that disprove anything on the original Firefox Myths page. Why is this worthless blog linked to so much? It is all BS and sad.

1. Those are the requirements for IE. You can run Windows 98 on a 486 with 16MB of RAM.

2. Did you even READ the speed test? Not only is IE faster than Firefox at loading but it is faster in everything but script speed. And since it is obvious you did not read any of the sources. Opera is faster than both of them.

3. Your rant about security disproves nothing on the Myths page. Firefox is NOT a secure web browser.

4. Again just because you have no heard something does not mean it is not said. What kind of argument is that? If I ask my grandmother something and she never heard of Firefox does that mean it does not exist? Please.

5. What was your pointless comment about Tabs supposed to mean? The Myth was that FF was not the first browser with Tabs and you go on to mention Seamonkey? What the hell was the point of that? It is a fact Netcaptor and Opera had tabs before FF.

6. I almost fell out of my chair with this one. You never heard people say FF fully supports standards and IE does not? You must live in a very closed circle of friends.

7. Interesting all those Standards on that page have changed as has the Myths page to coincide. It doesn’t matter though, it is nice to see all the FUD about firefox and standards debunked. FF clearly does not fully support standards.

8. Lastly you make another useless fact less based rant about web page compatibility yet don’t disprove a single thing.

Seriously was this blog made out of desperation because you don’t include a SINGLE fact disputing a **** thing. Pathetic. I even see Aza linked to this. You guys are grasping at straws as this Myths guy just exploded all you fanboys dreams. Too funny.

Wow, amazing article there Robert. I just read the myths thing somedays ago and we were having this heated disc in our forums when someone pointed me to this. Great stuff, seriously!
