这是一篇英文评论，作者名为Custer，可能是个外国人吧，但对中国的事情比较关注。偶然看见了，拿来分享一下。

周鸿祎还是闭嘴吧

“科学警察”方舟子在昨天一直保持平静，由于奇虎360指称他被百度雇佣，散布有关360浏览器不安全的虚假信息，方舟子表示要起诉奇虎360。先不说方舟子的沉默，奇虎似乎加大了自我辩护的力度。CEO周鸿祎的微博账户充斥着有关方舟子的消息，包括几条用长微博发出的生命。周鸿祎反复说方舟子不是在打假，而是假打。他甚至还发布了一个辟谣网页，那上面有张粗糙的漫画，方舟子的脖子上挂着个百度的牌子。

说起辟谣，我们可能得先打住，看看百度的态度。百度已经明确否认有任何金钱拉拢或影响方舟子和司马南的举动。由于奇虎仍无法提供任何百度与方舟子之间有勾结的证据，我倾向于相信，这基本是周鸿祎编造出来的。

事实上，你知道吗？不，我正放弃在评论中立方面的努力。方舟子确定是可以被看做某种驴子，我有个印象，他在自己发出的每个指控中，都对事实核查方面不是特别关心。（他对奇虎360的某些言论明显是错的），但奇虎的回应完全令人感到可笑。似乎已不是第一次发生这样的事情了，一次有一次，周鸿祎不断用痛骂，威胁和口号回击对自己产品的质疑，外加微博上排山倒海的帖子。在某些时候他这样做似乎是对的，但坦诚地说，我根本不关心这些。闭嘴吧周鸿祎，闭嘴。如果你的产品是好的，让他们说去好了，如果你的产品不好，那就加大力度去改进。在网上日复一日进行着幼稚的打飞机活动，是可悲的，即便你赢了，那也只会使你看上去像个loser一样。

不仅如此，你对百度与方舟子勾结起来攻击奇虎的指控，很明显完全没有证据，一点都说不过去。方舟子一直在追踪公司的道德过失，都已经十几年了，你主动接近这么一个人跟他说：“嗨，我们付你钱合谋去攻击我的竞争对手”，你这么做到底得是有多二啊。

即便百度倾向于这么做，谁能知道方舟子会不会拒绝，会不会把百度的欺诈和行贿行为供出来大白天下，百度得捞多大好处才值得去冒这么大风险呢？我一点都不关心你对百度的道德价值是怎么看的，我不认为一个二不愣子能发展成中国最大的搜索引擎。

当然，考虑到他像个暴君一样管理一家公司，雇员们整天怕惹他生气，我想人们也不该对周鸿祎面对批评时的公开反应过于吃惊，。可要严肃说的话，够了就是够了。如果周鸿祎是Techin Asia的CEO，他就得把自己的垃圾言论收起来，学着去做些实际事。如果他还准备像以前那么干，那他就应该从奇虎360辞职，单枪匹马出去战斗吧。

“Science cop” Fang Zhouzi seems to be remaining quiet after yesterday stating that he planned to sue Qihoo 360 for alleging that he had been hired by Baidu to spread false reports about the safety of Qihoo’s 360 Browser. But despite Fang’s silence, Qihoo appears to be doubling down on the rhetoric. Qihoo CEO Zhou Hongyi’s weibo account remains filled with posts about Fang, including several new “long weibo” statements. Zhou has said repeatedly that Fang isn’t “attacking fakes” but rather “fake attacking,” and he has even established a new “refuting rumors” website that appears to feature a crude caricature of Fang with a “Baidu” sign around his neck.

Speaking of refuting rumors, we should probably pause here to say that Baidu has categorically denied that it has in any way attempted to pay or influence Fang Zhouzi or Sima Nan. As Qihoo has yet to provide any evidence whatsoever that Baidu is connected to the Fang Zhouzi attacks, I’m inclined to believe that Zhou Hongyi is basically just making this up.

In fact, you know what? No. I am abandoning my attempt at editorial balance. Fang Zhouzi can definitely be kind of an ass, and I get the impression he’s not super careful about fact-checking every one of his accusations (some of what he has said about Qihoo is pretty obviously wrong), but Qihoo’s response has been utterly ridiculous. And it’s not like this is the first time this has happened. Time and time again, Zhou Hongyi has reacted to questions about his products with invective, threats, slogans, and a deluge of negative weibo posts. He may be right some of the time, but frankly, I don’t care. Shut up, Zhou. Just shut up. If your products are good, let them speak for themselves. If they’re not, then work on improving them. Working your way into juvenile slapfights online every other week is just pathetic, and even when you win them, you look like a loser.

Moreover, your accusation that Baidu is paying Fang Zhouzi to attack Qihoo is apparently totally unsubstantiated and it doesn’t even make sense. Fang has been going after companies for ethical violations for more than a decade; how idiotic would one have to be to approach a man like that and say “Hey, we’d like to pay you money to unethically attack our competitors!” Even if Baidu were inclined to do that, in what universe could that possibly be worth the risk of Fang refusing and then outing Baidu for fraud and attempted bribery? I don’t care what you think of Baidu’s ethics; you don’t get to be the biggest search engine in China by being that straight-up dumb.

Of course, I suppose one shouldn’t be too surprised at Zhou Hongyi’s public response to criticism given the revelation that he runs his company like a tyrant with employees living in fear of making him angry. But seriously, enough is enough. If Zhou is a tech CEO, he needs to give up the trash talk and go back to making stuff. If he’s not ready to do that, then he ought to resign his post at Qihoo 360 and become a battle rapper.
