great! name calling and straw mengreat! name calling and straw menPosted Oct 24, 2004 3:07 UTC (Sun) by dve (guest, #15903)In reply to: great! name calling and straw men by stevenj Parent article: How to be a Free Software zealot (NewsForge)
I thought it was sensible, straightforward, and not at all silly. Mind you, I didn't find it humorous, either. I don't think it was intended to be. It made a point, gave examples, and whether I agree with the content or ideas doesn't matter. If it did, I'd be one of those anti-freedom people we all agree that we don't like, right? :)

irrational, incendiary arguments Posted Oct 24, 2004 3:45 UTC (Sun) by stevenj (guest, #421) [Link] The problem is that the "point" was made by name-calling ("zealots") and straw men (fabricated "quotations"). That's why it's merely flamebait, and inappropriate for any site that aspires to serious journalism.
