I’m disappointed by the general reaction of the Linux community about this. I can understand some hesitation and worry around hearing what Red Hat had said, but it didn’t warrant jumping to such an extreme, even going so far to attack somebody who believes in open source as much if not more than anybody else. We need Red Hat in this fight for software freedom because the truth is they contribute sooooo much more than any hobbyist can. Support people supporting Linux.

I'd say I'm disappointed, but I'm really not. I knew this was basically how this was going to play out. I've already been called a paid shill, and stupid a handful of times today elsewhere, for not wanting to burn RedHat to the ground for this decision.

People need to get outside and touch some grass.

Your final sentence comes across as dismissive. I suppose you didn't mean it that way, but please be aware of the tone.

It was meant to be dismissive. Happy to clear that up for you.

How sad. I hope you feel better tomorrow.

I feel perfectly fine. I have no idea what you're on about.
