No.  That's criticism.  Criticism is cool.  I disagree with you, but
you're totally entitled to your opinion.  :)  (SUSE hired me knowing
full well who I am and what I do.  They've never censored me.  That's
one of the great things about, not just SUSE, but many in the FOSS
world.)

Ad hominem and person attacks?  Not great.  Those sorts of attacks
should be dealt with swiftly and publicly in order to keep bad
backlash from occurring.
