The Bubble: Microsoft Social Land
I was curious enough to day to have a look at a link-back to yesterday’s blog post. It was at Neowin. The article was about the FSF’s claims for Windows 7 to be shunned and while I don’t fully support their methods or their solely negative event organisation (they never seem to do anything in Boston except complain). So I have my beef with the FSF, I’m going to focus on the comments section to the linked news page.
The reason I was linked-back was because someone had posted my Understanding FOSS pdf and yesterdays blog post about balancing FOSS philosophies. The responses he got were not only insulting and degenerate, but they made me damn glad I work and communicate in a much better community with more manners. It doesn’t matter if you disagree with my politics, but I expect people to have some decorum.
Now the neowin news site does seem to be a bubble of Microsoft lovers. fanatics that seem to put all rational discourse to one side while they savage the “opponent”. Their main argument seems to be “Well if you can serve me with the exact this I want, then I’ll be your friend”
I’m sorry but the world doesn’t work like that.
