User: Could you better explain the nature of the complaints against Steve Gibson? It is important to address them specifically. --Alexwcovington 08:53, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Credited with coining the term spyware by who? First time ive heard it.... The article is POV and needs to be rewritten - for a start some discussion of what Gibsons critics (virtually the entire security industry) have said or the whole syn cookies debacle might help balance it a bit. Gibson is wonderfull at public relations but Id like to see any article that was a bit more honest than this fawning statement....

The GPA is more proof of this being written by a GRC acolyte - and gibsons written exactly one software program - Spinrite - and thats it - so i also question his credentials as a software engineer.

POV and boldly so

I agree with Alexwcovington, the section on critism needs sourcing. In the links are two pages, but they don't really seem like great sources. "Secruity Experts" are mentioned over and over, but not who they may be. To quote WP:NPOV, If a viewpoint is held by a significant minority, then it should be easy to name prominent adherents;. This needs to be done. --Falcorian | Talk 05:22, 15 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

POV Dispute

This article needs ALOT of work. It reads like a back and forth argument right now. --Falcorian | Talk 05:07, 15 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
