How Not to Treat Your Readership
,----[ Quote ]
| Given how the technology and methods the Linux community uses are constantly
| villified, ridiculed, and held in contempt by competitors; by ill-informed IT
| professionals and hobbyists; and now by journalists who use lies and
| outrageous comments to hold the community's response up for ridicule--is it
| any wonder why the community is so defensive in their responses?
|
| That's not a justification of bad behavior, but it certainly puts such
| responses in another light.

One example among many. Dvorak is one of them. Lyons, Enderle, Alexander Wolfe
and several ZDNet bloggers are others. SJVN and Peter Galli still play "good
cop, bad cop" once in a few weeks in order to drive traffic. They deliberate
plant baits and then use that to attack the character of Linux. Some of them
are paid by Microsoft (that's a fact).
