WelI thought out a clearly put. concur fully...
`You know, why does Microsoft even bother to spend money to thwart
Linux
when it's top supporters act like such buffoons anyway...?! ' - in
Like how ? The man admitted he wasn't cut out for the role. How one
mans unfortunate turn of phrase represents the whole of `Linux' is
beyond me. I can't comment on what he actually said as the blog entry
has been removed.
I can categorically state that I do not share his views. But allow me
to enlighten you for a moment. COLA is not a philosophical society nor
a religious movement. It brings to gather people with a mutual interest
in Linux. There are committed Christians here. Also committed atheists
and members of the NRA. That in no way shape or form means that all of
us must subscribe to these beliefs. Indeed one can be a member of COLA
and at least two of the above organisations - at the same time !!!
`I want this issue exposed in public.' - in
No, you just want to embarrass us all. I had not been aware of the
`issue' until you brought it up. As I said above I, for one, do not
associate with such views.
