I don't see the connection between whistleblowers and sysads. Anybody could blow the whistle on unethical or illegal practices in an organization. I don't think TFA applies to just sysads. The things in TFA are generally showing a lack of respect. All co workers and employees should be treated with respect. Lots of people in an organization can do damage.
Can != should. What happens when these plants pollenate other plants? Is there going to be any ecological impacts? Monsanto is playing a dangerous game. As of August, Monsanto has $3,000,000,000 US in cash. This is such a farce. There is plenty of food to go around. It is a distribution problem. With their insane lawsuits, lobbying, and self terminating plants, they are part of the problem. Lets not forgot about that recent case where we found out it is apparently not ok for journalists to investigate the animal side of the food industry. This whole food business is corrupt to the core. Feeding people healthy food is a political problem, not an economic or supply problem. Now they get an award for fucking or food economy and risking environmental/ecological problems? This bullshit is tiring.
I don't think haters are any different than fan boys. I'm not talking about people who boycott an organization because they don't like the organization's practices. I'm talking about those who hate something because it sucks or it is popular to hate. The beauty of open source software is that if you hate it, you didn't pay for it, and are free to change it or fork it. In this case, I think the KDE developer in question would be best off ignoring fan boys, haters, and trolls. Don't feed the trolls are very wise words. I think fan boys and haters joining OSS project's discussions qualify as trolls in this case, because it seems the OP is saying they are just stirring the pot and not adding anything useful to the discussion. It could also be the people the OP wants to "censor" have some valid critical opinions the OP doesn't want to hear.

You forgot corn. They have a 90s percentage of the corn market. What do you think most farmers in the US are growing?

I agree that global control is a stretch, but their US market share is near monopoly.
