Debian does seem to attract the most rabid of the anti-commercial-software
crowd, so the 'even' might have been called for. Most of the rest of the
commentary was far less negative, if you click all the way to the thread

It's important to remember that some members of EVERY community suffer from
recto-cranial inversion, that doesn't mean it is appropriate to paint the
entire community with the idiot brush. Imagine what people would think of
us if their entire view resulted from reading the current flamewar in
committers.
