They are running a local government. They do not need to listen to any private company. Make a policy which requires communication in ODF. block DOCX at the Firewall. Automatic security lockdown if the malware suite detects anyone attempting to lunch one. 90% of bullshit solved.

The proposed measures will, indeed, improve internal security.
You know that old joke about crying "FIRE" in a crowded theater? The bottom line is that you must be damn sure the place is really catching fire before doing that.
I did a peek on the GP's user posts, and unless Slashdot issued a way to delete posts, there's nothing into this guy's past that corroborates your affirmation. Granted, the guy can be lying. But he isn't being aggressive, pervasive or anything like that. He issued an opinion, and didn't deserved being mod trolled by this.
By "private", I mean... "particular", alternative, decentralized, with little effort on setup and maintenance - like the walkie talkies you buy for private use.
The DNS standard is useless for private use - the vast majority of the people are not techies, what to say a skilled one. What's a good thing, as I have to feed my kid, by the way.
A gadget that can just be bought and attached to the router or something like that can do the trick. But don't expect that the masses will be able to configure theirs routers by reading some RFC.
If all your "friends" think as you, act as you and looks as you, this is not friendship. This is narcissism.
You took that idea and expanded it into "GP should only have friends who think like he does", which is not the idea at all. You were damn insulting ("This is narcissism") too. I see nothing in GP post that deserved this snide attitude.
"Or you are a spin doctor, or you can't read English for saying that". This is insulting.
"You're a narcissist for thinking this way," This is insulting.
"If you killed Kenny, you're a bastard" is not insulting, unless, of course, you had killed Kenny.:-)
It appears to me that by insinuating I'm being offensive, you're, effectively, stating the GP as narcissistic. It was my intention to give him the benefit of the doubt - it's not impossible that he/she intended to mean what you said after.
f you're being added to 'fairly extreme view' groups, then I guess you have 'fairly extreme view' facebook 'friends'. If you'd rather not be part of those groups, you may wish to review the status of that 'friendship'.
So, it appears to me that the GP says that if a friend includes you in a group you strongly disagrees with, you should unfriend the guys.
What I strongly disagree. I would unfriend them if they repeatly do it to me against my will.I don't take offense being associated to a gay group by a gay friend - after all, he's a friend of mine and can think of me as a supporter or something like that.
And being a friend of mine, I just need to explain that I'm a friend of his/her, not his/her cause.
Of course if he/she insists on doing that, my reaction will be different. But he/she would not be a true friend neither, so unfriend him/her would not be a problem.
Slashdot Mirror
He was talking to the Police!
Trolling? WTF?
The fscking guy gives a testimonial about why he thinks a Zero Tolerance about driving intoxicated should be practiced, and got modded as a TROLL?
C'MON! There's no more common sense around here?
...next up, EAs Origin game console.
Couldn't be worst than a Sony's own video game console... Oh, wait!!
Slashdot lost its sense of humour? =P
Irrelevant. perhaps; But TROLL? =P

A little bold statement - but not exactly inaccurate.
Apple didn't invented or innovated absolutely a single product that make success under his grisp - aside the Apple II.
Apple Phone, Newton et all - Apple's innovations, but utter failures.
iPod, Mac OSX, Intel Macs - commodities established by someone else that Apple adopted, improved and then re-released under his brand.
I would not claim "perfectness", but they did a God damned good job on all these.
Apple is the leader, yes. It's just in the wrong direction.
So Apple is the wrong leadership...
Cultural differences.
Slandering is a "crime against the honor" in my country - it's hard to remember these details, but I'll try to remember it.
Thanks for the heads up.
+ informative, please.
Thanks for the correction, I was bit by my mother tongue - I made a literal translation without further thinking.
If you don't use Twitter/Facebook, you're obviously hiding something.
...and that's a Good Thing.
We like good things! Tell us, what are you hiding?
Heartily, your government.
This works for everyone, everywhere.
This is character assassination.

The software owner should be legally charged.
I do not agree with you.

This is mod trolling, simply like that.
Well, we must be cautious here.
Euthanasia, for example, is to be considered suicide?
In my humble opinion, there's some difference between a country and a company - however, this doesn't invalidated your opinion.
I'll give it some research and think about.
Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Nuff Said.
PROTEST.
The parent post was unfairly modded as TROLL. Can anyone, please, correct this?
But we should.
Unfortunately, your measure would render the company stalled - it's impossible to substitute all the management at once...
Au contraire, Foxconn's suicide rate being lower than the average is due they got all that bad press for being Apple's supplier.
On a first glance, I laughed on the idea: "ridiculous".
15 seconds after, I give it a second thought and stopped laughing.
We really need a private naming system for the Internet nowadays.

I didn't understood as you did.
I taked what I quoted:
