[Bob Jonkman]

David Patrick (djp) just chimed in on irc://irc.freenode.net/#linuxcaffe:

(2010-02-20 20:47:58) djp: BobJonkman: it's just embarrasing to be 
associated with such shabby writing
(2010-02-20 20:48:47) djp: mis-quoted out-of-context in a pointless 
story that was poorly crafted
(2010-02-20 20:49:00) djp: and this is after 2 hours of nterviewing
(2010-02-20 20:49:46) djp: I spent 20 minutes explaining linux to make 
sure it was understood that I was for a THIRD thing
(2010-02-20 20:49:56) djp: stoopid

[...]

(2010-02-20 20:52:49) djp: mis quoted
(2010-02-20 20:53:19) djp: so I said;
(2010-02-20 20:53:34) djp: mac user probably ARE more creative
(2010-02-20 20:53:53) djp: Winsows user are more likely to know what's 
actually happening
(2010-02-20 20:54:08) djp: and linux user are more likely to be making 
it happen
(2010-02-20 20:54:31) djp: now THATs a quote
