Your statement seemed hyperbolic until I followed the link and skimmed a handful of posts. He does indeed come across as someone consumed by hatred to the level of insanity. Why wouldn't anyone link to him? Its like linking to the Westboro baptist people in a discussion about Christian theology.

Because for those who didn't know better Müller appeared well-informed and it was convenient to cite him if he was on your side or you were writing a mainstream article and too lazy to find another source, especially after Groklaw shut down.
At least the Oracle vs. Google case revealed that he was actually a paid consultant for Oracle and Microsoft. It might be bad form to attack his character rather than his arguments, but it does save time when dealing with Müller.
