    will be howling sycophants towing the party line, taking the easy obvious mindless potshots at your remarks

    which you have already guessed at

    but you still have your reward: the perspective of a free mind, unbridled by popular whimsy and high school clique-level faddishness (ooh! linus torvalds in a swimsuit! ooh ! ooh!)

    your free mind is your reward, enjoy it, in spite of the howling tired crap you will hear in return for speaking honestly... your free mind is more valuable than the pain of having to endure the tired old bores and their tired old unthinking geek frat boy-level indoctrinations
