“‘Tolerating’ an opinion just means to not otherwise
try to prevent people from voicing it except by
arguments to the contrary. This implies that people
who call publishing an opinion which is not in line
with some or all of their own ‘intolerant’ are actually
themselves guilty of being intolerant. ”

In general, LinuxToday readers are quite supportive of us.

“Bruce your ability to offend people and then disingenuously crying wolf does not amuse… ”

“This was a common trick by Rob Enderle [...] Back in the anti-trust trial/sco trial days; put out something that is nothing more than flame-bait and then cries of “poor me” or worse “those open-source meanies”.”

“Ah brucy [...] He must be torqued off about the backlash from his boycott-novell article on Linux.com. Here’s news for you bruce: It’s not just FOSS.”

“The fact is the FOSS community is a community plagued by fears; fears about Microsoft, sellout Linux vendors, patent trolls, SCO, Apple, you name it. And when people get afraid, they get irrational, and everyone starts looking suspicious.”

Is this the point at which they shift from “ignore” to “fight”? Bypassing “laugh” altogether. Here’s to hits!
