His article explores what ideas are generally considered heresy, and whether or not those ideas might be true nonetheless. He also presents advice for handling heretical ideas. Considering that many of the ideas in technology in general and Open Source specifically are near heresy, it's well worth a read."

    "though the vast majority of his haters are overseas."

    That being owed in no small part to the fact that the large majority of the people in this world are also overseas.
