"Would you have believed at the end of last summer that Microsoft and Novell would partner over Linux, or that Oracle would create its own brand of Linux? Yeah, I wouldn't have believed it either, but here we are. So, what does it all mean? Rather than make a snap judgement I decided to sit, wait and watch before trying to make sense of it all. Now, I'm ready to give you my two-cents on who are the winners and losers in this post-deal Linux world."

When people think something sucks, yes, that's a reason to complain. That's called freedom of speech. FUD is subjective, so whether or not something is FUD, differs per person
complain is different from FUD.
And no, FUD doesn't differ per person at all. I will take a simple example :
"GPLv3 would prevent people from putting Linux into medical DRM protected devices" is complaining. "GPLv3 will kill Linux" is FUD.
If to you the FUD example differs per person, then I can't do anything more : keep your opinion.
FUD suggests negatives outcomes without any basis, or with bogus ones.
I just said that not everything the FSF does is magically The Right Thing
They did The Right Thing until now, so what is your basis for saying that ?
Or that it would be magic ?
It seems in these days and age, honesty and common sense are unbelievable (magic) things to lots of people.
