It's a really sad state of affairs we are in.  

Besides the marketing project, there is Extras and documentation that
have *very* high levels of community involvement.  In fact, the
community members out number the @redhat.com people, hands down.

These forum posts insult every one of those community people, including
Matt.  As with anything in open source, they better get their facts
straight before they start foaming at the mouth, or they deserve the bit
bucket they get put in.
