>fanatic about Linux and OSS (which is fine btw) I don't see how fanatism that ends up offending others is somehow fine just because its congruent with your own beliefs. Sounds like zealotry to me which is unhealthy. Bad actors need to be called out and not let themselves speak for the entire group, regardless if they're in my camp or the other, since they end up poisoning the well and tarnishing the image of the entire group if encountered or left unchecked. Dunno about you but I don't want to be associated with such people. These are why the Linux community gets a bad rap amongst regular people, because comments like these end up going public.
