I dragged nothing anywhere gerbick. You're on another of your rants where you hyperfocus on irrelevant aspects of the issue.

Forget fringe elements and reactionary motives. People driving open source solutions are not doing so out of negative motivations but rather positive ones. And it's more than semantics because your statements are right in line with the dangerous Microsoft and Apple FUD that has been working against the success of open source for years.

Blaming rabid adherents for the state of the solution is disingenuous. The problems with open source lie entirely within the political elements that seek to perpetuate a tired old status quo that needs to die so we can finally move on to what's next.

As the open-closed war continues to harden, things are going to get ugly for all of us. And if closed source wins (as it seems to be now with ridiculous software patents, bizarre IP protection schemes and the like), we're ALL screwed.

And as we contendly lap at the closed app store pools, we are applying the ointment to our own asses.
