Running proprietary software is bad, but it's not the worst thing on earth;
loosing your job is worse, getting a bad grade at university is worse etc.
If helping my friend hurts him, but not helping my friend hurts him much
more, then I will choose to help him.
But this is just what I call fanatism, and I don't care whether wikipedia
defines it in another way or anyone else:
loosing the view for the "scale" and the proportions, don't know how to
express it better.
Only seeing the one holy goal;
I don't claim that anyone in this forum is a fanatic but I think this special
attitude has a fanatic flavour in my opinion;
just my point of view.
