May I suggest you actually read his posts? I just did (ignore this #17, as I now know you didn't say that).
"we are only going to win this by competing in the marketplace"
"to use linux/FOSS simply to use linux/FOSS because it's open is sheer stupidity."
In context, your quote of his about politics shows he recognizes others are making this a political issue and he states that it is wrong.
He's over there debating against the zealots, and yet you call him a zealot. Pretty low, but expected from a zealot such as you.
Which make his denials here that they exist ALL the more hypocritical.
Your post is the reason why I didn't grace a response. Not everybody is as good as selectively reading as GE is.

Context? Surely you're asking too much.
:-P

And the funny thing is that most of my posts(that are in a similar fashion) get great ratings. The one GE seemed to have a problem with had a 4 rating.
But whatever. It's one thing to pick and prod someone's posting and is often times rather fun but personal destruction I have zero interest in. Now I feel like I'm dealing with the NY Times here.
