IMHO the reasons it has turned into just "Ram talking to himself" are the fact that our boycott is working. Few of us here go there since it is such a waste of our time to do so. One of us accurately advised not to give them anything there to dissect & attack. That limits therir discussion and makes them a mere negative echo chamber. Another is that they have failed their paymasters (you know I believe the GRU was one). Since the news broke of the $182 million US ARMY/McAfee deal it's game over for the bashers. Their paymasters are redirecting their efforts elsewhere.
