Negroponte vs. Open-Source Fundamentalists

fyoder writes "Within the world of One Laptop per Child, both the Negropontistas and the Benderites envision a future for Sugar where it runs on multiple platforms, but the latter don't want Windows (or closed source anything) as part of that future. OLPC's emphasis has always seemed to me to be on Sugar, with Linux simply being a smart technical choice for the underlying OS. Yet what is becoming more explicit with the resignation of Walter Bender is that for many involved in the project there was a strong element of Linux advocacy, such that Negroponte's flirtation with Microsoft is felt to be pure sacrilege."

Damnit to fuck, Twitter, quit throwing away what little shred of fucking credibility you have by resorting to the shitty sock-puppets! Don't you realize that you are HURTING YOUR OWN CAUSE by engaging in tactics that piss people off at you?!

You ALREADY MADE your point (in a rather good way) with the post from your real account; you didn't need to FUCK IT UP with this bullshit!

Obviously, I'm just wasting my breath -- I'm beginning to believe that YOU ARE A MICROSOFT SHILL YOURSELF because NOTHING you could do to be more HARMFUL to the cause you claim to advocate than what you are doing RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!

I fucking AGREE with you and still wish you would DIE IN A FIRE!

So I'm going to say this once and for all: if you're indeed not a shill, then SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU STUPID BITCH!!!!!
