"IBM employee and ODF TC co-chair Rob Weir's latest blog entry seeks to rebut what he terms a "disinformation campaign being waged against ODF". The writing is curiously disjointed, and while at first I thought Rob's famously fluent pen had been constipated by his distaste at having to descend further into the ad hominem gutter, on closer inspection I think it is perhaps a tell of Rob's discomfort about his own past statements.

"In particular, Rob takes issue with a statement that he condemns as "Microsoft FUD [...] laundered via intermediaries":

""There is no software that currently implements ODF as approved by the ISO""
