    Oh, man. Nice try, but "Bdale"? "Hertzog"? No way I'm falling for this.

    The person's name is "Dale", not "Bdale". God, why don't you people spell check your posts every once in a while? You'll make people think that some Indian got elected or something.

  3. Debian's too political by Anomolous+Cow+Herd · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You know a Linux distro is designed for zealots when they have would-be project leaders run campaigns with "platforms" that include such things as "helping make sure HP participates as a good citizen in the Debian and larger Open Source communities".

    From Bdale's platform:
    Working on Debian is my way of expressing my most strongly held beliefs about freedom, choice, quality, and utility.

    Freedom from using your own name? Come on, "responability" doesn't mean anything these days?

    He said he was using testing ya stupid fucktard.

    Debian zealots are so quick to talk down to and disrespect the users i guess they don't even have time to read the actual posts any more.

    Just think for a minute little evil branden got elected. He would destroy debian in a matter of days.
