I think the fact that you had to put that disclaimer in the post-script at the end exemplifies your point. We have to do that around here because people will immediately stop reading once you've disagreed with a "cult" teaching and begin attacking you/defending their teaching. You shouldn't have to put a "PS I promise I'm not saying anything bas about open source I'm just using it as an example so please don't miss my point" at the end of your comment. We should all be able to be reasonable and thoughtful and not have these knee-jerk reactions whenever someone even looks at something we like funny.

So I thought I'd highlight that I'm just using that as an example that everyone has seen and can relate to so that people will keep the conversation around the bigger picture.
