The Few, the Tired, the Open Source Coders

If you’re part of some group (e.g., OSS contributors), and a mass media propaganda company, like Wired, which is run by a Vanderbilt, comes along and starts saying things about “this poor lil feller is being abused”, etc., you should be extremely worried; they work for somebody who’s coming after you.

The first step in taking advantage of a group else is convincing that group that they’re victims.

Well my friend, the soil where you're trying to plant your sensible words is just totally barren. Here on HN you'll most probably face feedback only from those who work exactly for somebody who's coming after some group as you say, or zealous dupes who follow the former for free. And that feedback will never be positive!

Well I at least found one sensible person! Thank you for your reply.

Fortunately yet sadly there are many more remaining silent or ignoring HN altogether... Thank you for commenting against the grain too!
