The very few legitimate technical issues I've seen him raise were dealt with
several years ago and documented in RFCs. The vast majority of what he posts,
however, is inflamatory political diatribe which only appears to have technical
content to non-technical folks such as reporters.
Jim has set himself up to be a martyr instead of trying to be productive. He
clearly has no interest in working within the existing engineering framework nor
with its consensus model. Until he does so, anybody with half a clue will
ignore him for good reason.
