c'mon, he didn't accuse them of criminal negligence leading to murder, that was just an analogy. I think he explained the difference between negligence and apathy quite well.

May 2003: There are plenty of groups interested in taking our community apart. M$ would love to see us in-fighting and holding grudges, the activist movements of the 60's were famous for splitting into useless factions over small differences.

I don't like what the Mozilla guys did but they have taken it back (claiming they're not "backing down" but saying the name will only be used for development snapshots).

If you want to use your anger for something, try fighting patents in Europe or fighting for a better patent system in USA/Australia/Japan. Or write some Free documentation, or code a project, or spread the word.
