> So go somewhere else? A better solution is to simply stop caring about the opinions of the entrenched SF special interest groups and simply go on with one's life, and ignore the attacks that are never going to go away. Those entrenched groups are getting less powerful by the day, anyway. Their opinions can't be change, and they aren't going to matter much soon. And the other, newer, techie focused groups are getting more influence. There isn't much point in "negotiating" with the entrenched groups when they are never going to be convinced, and you can just usurp them instead.
