Radicals and Extremists

»

Radicals and Extremists are always a bad news, even if they are on your side.

It is okay to have strong views and argue sensible. And it is also important to recongize different people will have different views. And even people on the same side may comes in different shades of greys. But when you cross the line making threats (or worst, carrying out the threats), you not only alienate the majority moderates, you also put the rest of the moderates advocates in bad light.

I have seen Linux zealots who done more damage to Linux then their competitors could ever do. And today, I feel so sad that one cause I fight for at work might just die because of a radical advocates. Thanks, but really, you are not helping! *sigh*
