Dvorak on the LinuxWorld Fracas

An anonymous reader writes "John C. Dvorak has entered the fray, offering his opinion on the O'Gara LinuxWorld flap. From the article: '...the Linux community is slowly evolving into a state of mob rule, with the cheerleaders being paranoid crackpot leftovers from the waning days of Amiga.' "

It's great seeing the Linux community proving exactly what Dvorak is talking about.

I can't wait to see this thread unfold. The fact that you know deterministically that this will turn into a "Dvorak SuX bcuz hes lame" marathon proves exactly how right he is.

To the replies saying "no, wait, we're not like that" -- read Slashdot more. The deterioration from a site where intelligent people shared ideas into a cesspool of nonstop idiocy and foolhardy arguments powered by nothing more than zealotry is astounding.

I'm glad today happened to be the once in a long time that I chose to read this site. This kind of discussion always reminds me why I should no longer waste my time in this community.

Yet another high-id dotter dissing Stallman for all the wrong reasons.

Funny comment from user id 831,679.

I've paid to work with *NIX since 1983. You? For the record, I've never been 100% comfortable with Stallman.

Do you really belive Stallman is no more a zealot than the other people you cite? You start with a definitive statement and then modify it by saying, "just like those three had in varying degrees". Which is it? The same or different?
