"Nutjob"

To me it just looks like a kid who is willing to randomly make up stuff to try and get a Raspberry Pi for free.

As amusing/crazy as this was, I'm not really sure if it merited it's own blog post (or HN submission for that matter).

I saw it as a preemption of a threatened attack on Upton's and the Foundation's reputation. Probably unnecessary, but then, not as much trouble as having someone spreading rumors that you are an anti-semite.

I think the nutjob part comes in where he threatens to smear the organization as anti-Semitic in retaliation.

Yup, there are forums full of people trying to get things for free using "social engineering". See: http://www.hackforums.net/forumdisplay.php?fid=70

think I'm going to agree...don't think this "journalist" deserves any publicity
