BRING IT ON!

1. Slashdot has some very extreme wingnuts posting

That's why I go there less and less often.

BTW, I dipped my toe at "The Jobs Crunch."

2. Oh yeah, I got like 20 posts in on that "Jobs Crunch" thread

Yep, right wing nerds can be pretty bad rightwingers, cuz they get into that Rand thing....

3. They think Bill Gates is a leftist.

And Linux is compatible with "conservative values."

I guess the thought process here is, "not only everything leftist must be evil, but everything evil must be leftist too!"

7. It always amazes me

how many little neocon wannabes there are in the tech world -- and they all seem to post on Slashdot! They think that if the BFEE gets their way, then they're all going to be rich.

As far as Linux, I've noticed over the past few years that it's fine for them to download their free ISOs of their favorite distribution, but when RMS bitches about proprietary code they totally turn on the guy.

8. Ah, RMS. I've met him. He rocks.

I believe he's very moderate, actually. Being inflexible in your positions (that's him) and having extreme positions (that's NOT him) are different things.

4. Sigh. Ayn Rand

No one with a brain digs Ayn Rand after they pass puberty.

5. kudos to you, I just can't do it online

I do fine F2F but I hate the boards and the hate spewed invective

:argh:
