“Summary: Suggestions for Canonical regarding eradication of
Internet trolls in Ubuntu Forums and discouragement of trolling by
Mono boosters who masquerade as Ubuntu members (or use such a
duality)“I DON’T know exactly what’s going on inside Canonical, but
after almost 7 years with Ubuntu (my first one was 4.10) I sense
that the company got rotten from the inside. I was defending it
when it came under scrutiny or dangers from all sorts of directions
and spent many days of my life advocating its use. But I am almost
done carrying water for Ubuntu, especially because its parent
company is harbouring Mono boosters as members who troll this site
in IRC and other means of communication. It’s understandable when
this is done by former Microsoft employees who now promote Mono
(they pulled the same tricks in our IRC channels before), but when
people associated with Ubuntu engage in trolling, that’s too far
and it shows what Canonical must cope with.”
