It's not the responsibility of a bunch of odious idiots on IRC to keep
your job prospects up. 

Sure, the IRCers should remember that the Daily Mail should only be
read by highly trained individuals who won't be affected by it, but
the idea that every nominally Linux-related IRC channel must present a
glorious public image for the sake of those of us who happen to work
in the field is fatuous.
