No, he is not. Apart from his KKK-ish tendencies, he is here only to mock
Linux, although he's secretly afraid/fascinated by it (and he appears to
have a love/hare relationship with Rex). DFS is among the Last of the
Munchkins (see
http://worldcadaccess.typepad.com/gizmos/2005/11/2_grassroots_an.html ). If
he gets ignored (easier when he is not visible), then he will sooner or
later leave. Maybe the time he spends here slinging feces will be spend
doing something else. In his case, it is likely to be some other passionate
occupation, such as burning churches of the black community.
