I urge people not to make a personal witch-hunt out of it.

If you disagree or agree, fine but keep the personal stuff out of it.

    the problem would be if the physics professor were using his research to reach a conclusion that nudge the public view towards eugenics (it’s hard to stay in the example in this case, but hear me out)

    the problem isn’t the guy’s findings, but what he makes of it

    if you read the post again you’ll see that he uses the title to bait readers into thinking the foundation spending in projects towards diversion in software is a waste of money because it isn’t going directly into the linux development itself

      You’re changing the topic. You’re saying he is using clickbait, yet you try to steer people away from this post by giving unrelevant information that is controversal. This is not an inch better imo.

      I’m all in for calling out bad articles, but not like this.
