Scare quotes? How "mature".

• ZeroGravitas 16y ago
  Would you refer to someone as a Christian Evangelist if they said "Have you read the bible? That's a big book. And there's some crazy stuff in there. I mean we'll think about following it, but we'd rather just follow half of it really to the letter"? Given how much effort he puts into dissing web standards the scare quotes seem appropriate.

    You're taking selective quoting by a tabloid as proof of anything? Or do you only do that when it supports your preconceived notions?

      I have read primary sources on various Microsoft blogs saying almost exactly the same thing about a variety of standards (web and otherwise) over a period of years. I have no reason to doubt The Register reporting in this case. This is not in the same league as a tabloid claiming that Elvis and Bigfoot had a lovechild. It is expected that Microsoft will trash-talk standards even, or especially, as they are forced to implement them by market forces.
