While browsing the LGames website [sf.net], and I noticed he prominently displays a "Legalise Marijuana" badge on his front page. This sort of puerile proselytising reflects badly both on the project and all Linux users, and I implore Mr. Speck to remove it. Regardless of your feelings about the drug war issue, a Linux games pages in not the place to raise it. What is the average Joe going to think when he searches for "linux games" on Google, comes to the lgames website, and is immediately assaulted with this image? When trying to get friends and coworkers to switch to Linux, by far the hardest hurdle I have to overcome is the stereotype of Linux users as freeloading, dirty, overzealous pigs who try to shove their dogma down the throats of anyone who talks to them. Things like Speck's shameless pot-promotion do little to help overcome this. I hope this post of mine will help him come to his senses.
