The title of the article seems completely wrong to you? Naturally it would, when you daily read something like this. But I do state all this stuff is being a big mistake, if not worse. I am sure, that Linux is now close to extinction, and still is getting closer and closer to the point of no return.

You don't seem to understand what the role of an editor is. It is my role to properly format the news, and filter out irrelevant stuff. It is NOT, I repeat, it is NOT my job to filter news and articles based on the opinions expressed. If I were to do that, I'd be biased. You think I agree with this article and it's contents?
Then perhaps you need an employee whose job it IS to filter out this stuff. After all, to draw an analogy, you don't see THE TIMES of London publishing anything that isn't right wing, or THE SUN publishing anything of substance, do you? And they do that by filtering. They probably filter employees rather than articles, but if you accept submissions from random people then you'll have to resort to filtering by article, I suppose.

Thom, you are supposed to filter them on their quality, not on wether you like their opinion or not. This article simply lacks the quality to be posted on any news site that wants to be taken seriously.

You appear to not know either thom. You abdicate your journalistic responsibility by not holding the article to higher standards, for instances yo should of had him back up his claims. This was very poorly put together and poor standards were used.
You just don't put up an article just to put it up.

So no, this article is clear rubbish and there isn't anything more to say about it. That it is clear rubbish is obvious to anyone with half a brain and should be obvious to anyone who calls himself an editor, even if he's working for free.

I won't reveal my opinion directly; read between the lines of this post and you'll know.
If I were to filter news based on the merits of its opinions, you'd all get your panties in a twist even more. Attacking an editor JUST because he did not dispose of an article with debatable opinions in it, is just as bad as writing that article.
In other words, comment with arguments, write rebuttal, or ignore. It's that simple.
