Hmm, is it a good idea to feed someone who proclaims to be 
controversialist?

In the BBC article the most notable diference was what I perceive to be 
an instigation -- 'Linux developers on high-horses' or something like that.
I think traditional BBC journalists do a job controlled by higher forces 
whereas this joker is contracted just to dig up controversies.
Best not feed him his daily 'bread and butter'.

Posting on his blog will be like appearing on Kill Roy or Jerry Springer 
to discuss free software.
