Have Some Decency
Gentleman,
Have some decency. Why are we having a petty argument over the tone and structure of the article? We lost an amazing programmer and individual. He has done many things to help open source 3D drivers and even applications.
Quit your bickering and show some respect. His contributions to the community will certainly be missed as will Oliver.
I get tired of the non-stop bickering about article styling especially in a case like this. Suck it up and show some respect!

Totally agree!

Long time Phoronix readers are already aware that you'll use any means to get as much hit as possible on any article regardless or their content, wich in majority is extremely poor for someone that call himself "journalist", but doing it in such a nasty way, without at least having the decency to focus on Oliver McFadden with the very first lines, and without feeling the need to throw us a puke of references to your own blog articles. Even the title stinks, make it sounds like you're going to tell us a tale.
And you couldnt even end with a word of support for its relatives, you know, at least by courtesy.
You are a despicable person.

Sorry if this offends you but I'll say it bluntly. Phoronix doesn't care the least about some dead programmer, it only cares about itself and making money. And that's the real shame and why I won't "suck it up".
