What i think about Bob "case".
It doesn't matter what were real intentions of Bob when he started this, it does matter that he giggled, poured DACS with mud. But behaving so, sensible individual must be aware of consequences of this behaviour especially on the forum of DACS creator.
Consequences happened

-- Bob was turned into jester locked in his own stage (that thread). Alas thread was closed...
Anyway, is Melih right that Bob poured a mud on DACS by Avast's orders? I think this is not true simply because damage for DACS because of Bob's giggling would be smallest but damage for Avast would be great if it would be discovered the fact they ordered to small fry to play mean tricks on Comodo. It is just very hard to believe that management of Avast are complete idiots.
Suspect that Melih cynically made that move, knowing that "Avast orders" cannot be true, anyway move was great

.
As for slander on Comodo and spreading of rumours throughout internet like James said.
How about *good* PR. For example: someone moans DACS is a stolen technology, and this moan spreads. Instead of stepping into discussion with another "unsatisfied user", a definite document/whitepaper-disproof is issued and being spread on the internet by own channels. Contents of whitepaper for example: structure of DACS, why DACS can't be "stolen" technology (b'cause p2p-users paid for their licenses, because of p2p-nature of implementation, that does not break eula's of AV vendors) etc.
No offence, thanx for thread, but cannot resist:
starting post is touchiness, glamour oversentimentalism kind of "world is not like i want it to be". Boring
