Oh, oh.
Your blatant denial is a *bad* sign George.

This is very accusatory to me:-

One thing I find disturbing about the Linux/OSS community is that
their seems to be a sub-group of activists that for some odd
reason feel they are entitled to everything for free.
In general the common denominator with these people is that they
have done zero to contribute and often are the first to cry foul
when their insignificant work may be compromised.
It seems to me that the OSS community in general is chock full of
bitter people who expect others to give their works away but yet
won't give their own works away.

read it first for a few months, and paid attention.
Its not "The Stepford wives club or something", but it is a war zone.

Another bad sign. You only have to be reasonable here.

Another bad sign. No one does that here, and no one would stand for it.

indeed listen to. Trolls are not among those people, as trolls, more or
less by definition, *promote* ignorance.
