Parent article: The Open Group on UNIX trademark

Doesn't anyone here share my view? Isn't anyone else disturbed?

No, frankly I'm a bit annoyed. I saw 11 postings on this article, and I thought "oh good, there's a discussion going on the UNIX trademark." So I click through and get this nonsense instead. You'll have to forgive me, but having spent a large part of my adult life on a college campus I have a very low tolerance for political correctness and the hysteria that accompanies it.

So then why are you contributing to this nonsense with comments like that last sentence there? Get rid of it and you have a legitimate complaint. But put it in and... you become one of them.

Too bad there's no "Offtopic" filter here, like on Linux Today.
