Metcalfe smears the FOSS community

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on April 26, 2007 04:55 PM

the movement was relentless in its vicious anonymous-coward Slashdot-ish counterattacks, which I found revealing about the movement.


Somebody got under his skin. So of course "the movement", i.e. the free-software community, is to blame.


Who exactly "counterattacked" Metcalfe? Was it Linus Torvalds? Alan Cox? Richard Stallman? Eric Raymond? Does he have any reason - even the slightest reason - for blaming these people or other members of the community? Or is it more likely that it was just some high-school kid whose only connection to the FOSS community is that he's installed a copy of Firefox on his PC?


Maybe before Mr Metcalfe rants about "vicious" attacks on him by "the movement" he should consider his own behavior?
