Not so sure about the troll

Thank you, man_ls, for the accurate clarification.

In the long run... credibility is more valuable than the facts.  PJ does a great job of
presenting the facts.  But she either does not realize how badly she compromises her own
credibility (which would not be surprising considering the like-minded crowd which surrounds
her on her site) or does not think that it matters.  Or perhaps she is overconfident enough to
think that we do not need to maintain credibility as a precious resource.

I, personally, have found that being surrounded by a like-minded community is, in the long
run, a liability.  While I am a fervent advocate of Unix, Linux, and OSS, I tend to shun
Linux-only news sites, these days, in favor of sites which cater to a very multi-platform
oriented community.  I consider LWN to be an exception due to the notably high quality of
original material here.  But even so, this thread has been an effective reminder of why I
don't hang out with the choir as much as I used to.
