In spite of all its rudeness, roughness and overboardness, the comment goes to a damn good point. The author apparently got tired of all that gender blabber as done by RMS, Lefty and several concerned responders, all the easy attention grabbing and hand waving, and wanted to remind the best dichotomy we've got for now: Real programmers deliver. Don't ask about gender, race or so, ask about results. Anyway, I'd like the public statements from well known OSS people to be modest on non-technical grounds. Offend opponents with substance, not style.
