LinuxWorld Senior Editorial Staff Resigns

sachmet writes "In light of the interview with Fuat Kirccali, James Turner has announced on his blog the immediate resignation of the LinuxWorld senior editorial staff." From the post: "We regret that Sys-Con Media has been unable to apply a standard of journalistic ethics that we can comfortably operate under. We feel that recent articles published with the consent of Sys-Con Media fail to meet minimum generally accepted journalistic codes, and because the management of Sys-Con Media has failed to acknowledge that the articles are by all informed judgment ethically unsupportable, we have decided we must find other avenues for our work."

Re:The parent is a troll

That my comment was modded as such is a very, very, mild version of the same logic. folks say something you don't like: call them a troll.

You got modded "troll" because of the way you expressed your opinion. Should you say "Assuming DDOS actually occured.." and "Those of /. readers who engage in such tactics.." or "The minority of FOSS members.." or used some similiar qualifier, your point might have been vaild. Instead, your diatribe read as if it were addressed to all FOSS community members, indirectly equating us all to "cyber terrorists". Furthermore, your assumption of "probability" of a pre-meditated DDOS being launched by some members of the FOSS community being near 1 is patronizing and in actuality, given the wide interest in this story combined with prolific linking to its source, quite baseless. Taking the self-serving word of the community's foe at its face value while issuing patronizing decrees to us is not likely to produce an "Insightful" ranking.
