I found it very interesting that Assange had made real contributions to postgres. I had thought he was a "hacker" in the sense of popular journalism (i.e. fuck knows that they mean but not a serious open source contributor). I don't know why you're criticizing the person who posted that interesting link.
People don't like to hear things that challenge their worldview. I have accepted this reality and don't let it get to me. I have accepted the burning of e-points i.e. "karma" as a sacrifice akin to standing by the side of the road warning others driving that the bridge is out ahead. They don't need to trust me, they only need to proceed with caution and ask questions themselves.
