Ready to be published? LXer is read by around 350,000 individuals each month, and is an excellent place for you to publish your ideas, thoughts, reviews, complaints, etc. Do you have something to say to the Linux community?
Any political discussion can turn dangerous in a heartbeat, and they usually do, with foaming and fireworks more usual than relaxed give-and-take. So a lot of folks avoid any kind of political discussion entirely just to keep the peace. And this makes sense-- why pick unnecessary fights? Among my little social circle is a sub-group I call the Contentious Old Codgers. These old coots enjoy arguing for the sake of argument, and getting people riled up. They're not interested in discussion or finding common ground because they live for the thrill of combat.
TC, Good article, the comments were a lot like what we see here on LXer.
You have done something that got you a spot on a Linux publication. Whatever
that was, it has given you a forum to wail and lament about Linux and all the little
connections to Linux YOU see. Linux does not exist in a vacuum. Keep going!
You did forget to mention the Tin Foil Hat Squadron ( I am a Colonel there to) and
many of us suspect that politics is a conspiracy not the cause of.
Kudos for the mention of Lawrence Lessig. Nobody knows just how huge Prof. Lessig
is. http://www.lessig.org/blog/
Boys and girls, this is NOT about YOU, its all about Linux.
It *is* about my ability to use Linux for any legitimate purpose, without interference from the government, Microsoft, Adobe, Nvidia, the MafIAA...
So, in that sense, it is about me.
