So you're saying that he supports i4i in this patent case against MS? I find that hard to believe, since MS is trying to weaken SW patents, which is something he has been trying to do for a while.
I don't think its as simple as you think.

What I have suspected ever since he not so deftly started dodging questions concerning his employment on LWN is that there is a rather specific reason he supports MS over i4i, and it has little to do with software patents. But in general, without resorting to getting to conspiracy theory-ish stuff, I'd say that 99.9% of the time I'd say his motivation is almost entirely the Groklaw community collectively laughing at him and not paying him the respect he thinks he deserves. His ego was bruised and he doesn't know how to respond as an adult.
