[Gllug] I do not like this person

[Tushar Joshi]

I have met people in the media like this before. They don't just not like
Linux but have a real passionate hate for linux. It's personal. Nothing
more. They have a gripe, someone wouldn't help them, or they didn't get
help for free from some irc channel and for some reason feel it up themself
to take it out on the whole community. Which is actually unprofessional,
since they aren't reporting the story but using the media as their personal
flame ground. 

Despite this I feel linux will prosper since the Media have always reported
crap and you have to read between the lines. The FT is just like the Sun
anyway ;o)
