Sorry this probably did seem like it was implicitly referring to you, but it wasn't my intention at all. I find you very reasonable :-)
It's kind of the culmination of dozens of threads on Hacker News over the last few years and increasing frustration on my end. Mainly the frustration is because I have criticisms of Red Hat, but every conversation seems to jump straight to some variation of IBM and it drowns out the (IMHO) reasonable discussion, or it's (rarely but still happens) a Red Hat person who doesn't think a single decision they've made is bad.
