EDIT: I updated the title to reflect the new situation. Read post #3

A little backqruond first: msmobiles.com is a website about cell-phones using MS OS'es. Some time ago they had a piece of news about article on Helsingin Sanomat about competition between Nokia and Microsoft. Besides commenting on the article, the guy who runs the website used the opportunity to label Nokia as an "evil" corporation and claim that up untill 1995, Finland was a communist country. The article and the authors comments started circulating some finnish websites, and in short time, his article was full of comments from finnish readers (the website at least used to allow readers to post comments). If I remember correctly, it had hundreds of comments from finns, all correcting his opinions and accusing him of bias and hatred. For comparison, usually news on the website get just one or two comments each.

The situation even reached some mainstream news-sites in Finland.

The author of the article then started editing the text he had written. Then he banned everyone from .fi-domain from the site. Then he disabled the ability to send comments entirely.

And now, he did this.

It kinda makes you wonder what kind of person is running that website? The guy is polish, that much we know. Is he insane? Retarded? Moron? All of the above?

Updated: the situation is getting funny. The guy moved his website to here. Website has been noted in major finnish newspapers, and as you can guess, several websites disputing his "facts" have been created:

Link 1 <== Funny
Link 2
Link 3

This is war, and there shall be no prisoners ;).

He used to work for the company he loves to bash and fllled the internal newsgroups with similar crap regardless of pleas from Finns as well as others. I guess in the end he got fired which might explain why he has dedicated that site to some people from his previous employer.

Oh, and it made The Register too. There is some really funny stuff there about this Poland's cultural ambassador to the Internet.
