There's a post on OMGUbuntu calling the Free Softwre community a bunch of 
neckbeards holding Linux back.

Neckbeard is generally used insultingly and is based on the notion that anyone 
interested in *nix umm...looks like our cat-herder, Kevin.  It's like when 
someone calls a nerd an "egg-head" or any other insult based on a stereotype 
of a group's appearance.
