"Time after time I've seen members of the Linux community use Mr. Enderle's negative Linux opinions as an excuse to ferosiosly attack him."
True, but would you expect any community to have an absence of loadmouthed idiots misrepresenting the community? Also, would you _not_ expect the blowback if you posted inflammatory and (for the most part) completely untrue comments about a large community project? It's a lot like poking a bee's nest with a large stick repeatedly and crying that you got stung.
I will however say that it's unacceptable behaviour for people claiming to advocate OSS sending threatening letters to _anybody_ with an opposing viewpoint.
Mr. Enderle is a bias, ignorant man pretending to be professional. He needs to be more mature in his opinions and comments. If he can't even understand the reprocussions of his own actions then I seriously doubt he can advise anybody on the best thing to do with their IT interests.
