Why the hostility? Because Linspire turned into a Linux foe shortly after it had received payments from Microsoft.

It was NOT Linspire's "Chairman" who resigned, but their CEO. Linspire's Chairman has always been Michael Robertson, and he is still Linspire's Chairman. It was their CEO, Kevin Carmony, who resigned and moved on to other non-Linux related ventures. Michael Robertson has several ventures, and has for years, not just Linspire. It's not unusual for a Chairman to be involved in multiple companies.

John,
Yes, I know this and I thought the text made it clear. Carmony and others appear to have left, but it also looks like the chairman puts his eyes on other projects (unless it's a case of handling many projects, as always).
Free software "absolutism" is not a radical stance, more so if the only "radical" belief the user possesses is that he or she must be in control of his or her software, and by extension his or her computer
Social control media isn't "fun and games"; it's a digital weapon that lets hostile groups or nations infiltrate others, then turn them against themselves
