Paul Tansom : "open source nuts, a group that is full of rabid anti-American haters." - well I guess that description really does cover companies like IBM, Novell, Sun and HP very nicely. You couldn't get a more 'rabid' group of 'anti-American haters' could you! "
The operative word there being "nuts", "open source nuts".
The same people who make phone calls, threatening to kill the CEO of SCO and his wife and children if they don't stop their legal action against IBM, the same open source nuts who threatened a female analyst with nasty , vicious late night phone calls and promised to kill her , because she had written a report that was not flattering to Linux, and it goes on and on and on a nd on.
The open source community has easily the biggest congregation of nutcases in techdom ever.
If executives working for IBM or HP or whoever have not engaged in such criminal behavior, then of course my description does not apply them.
If they have made illegal felonious phone calls to SCO executives, premising to come kill them, then of course they are included in my condemnation of the open source crazies.
Its that simple really.
