Over on Scoble's blog, one of the commenters has turned into a veritable troll - accusing Scoble of being an MS shill, and having turned on a dime after getting hired. I don't suppose it occurred to that guy that it could be the other way around - that Robert felt like MS was going in the right direction, and he wanted to be a part of it?

Those of us who are corporate/product evangelists simply aren't going to spend a lot of time throwing rocks back at corporate - in general, it's not a useful way to effect change (it does create enemies who make change harder though). What I don't get is where trolls like that come from. You don't like what a blogger writes? You think it's trash? Well heck, there's a simple answer - don't read it. What part of that is hard?
