Unfortunately, your fan is as ignorant about FOSS as PJ is.

There can be no doubt that Theo and Richard are both highly regarded members of the FOSS community. It is also well known that you don't put them in the same room unless you have large amounts of lead or ledite to shield yourself with or can arrange to have a large value of r. (1/r² is your friend.)

Why do PJ and these trolls think that FOSS is one big happy family? We have all seen Richard flame Linus and Theo, Theo flames Richard and Linus, and Linus flames Richard. (I don't remember Linus flaming Theo, but Linus is usually too busy to bother with flaming anyone anyway, he is far less political than Richard and Theo.)

I also find it odd that anyone thinks Richard would be offended by being called pink. I am rather certain that if you walked up to Richard and said "Hey Richard, I think you are pink!", his reply would be something like "Yes, and your point is?"
