Agree 100%. When the community is under threat from big bullies we need to
unite and keep aside small issues. Stop arguing, have fun (with Linux,
GNU/Linux whatever...)

Oh, BTW that reminds me of what Disraeli said: Little things affect little
minds. Decide if you want to be a "little mind" or a "mighty mind"
