That's true, your beliefs being on the fringe does not make them any less correct. It's the fact that you're wrong that makes them less correct.
This imagined ethical crisis you've come up with simply doesn't exist. The vast majority of MVPs are interested in the best solution to the given challenge. Sometimes that solution is a Microsoft solution; sometimes it's not. I have no reservation about recommending other companies' products when that is the appropriate answer to the challenge. I am in no danger of losing my MVP status because of that position. I have openly criticized aspects of Microsoft products both in public and in private. Never has my status been in jeopardy because of that criticism. Your assumption is unfounded. -Ben- Ben M.

I believe that your actions are wrong and hurt IT professionalism as a whole. My beliefs may be on the fringe, but that does not make them any less correct. I have never tried to offend, only to educate. I cannot help if people get offended, but it does seem immature to hold a grudge against someone only because you happen to disagree with them on a single topic. I'm sure that comment will offend some people as well. > Here's some philosophy for you. Those you hold in contempt will very > likely hold you in contempt.
