On this topic I am of two minds.  First, I despise censorship and don't
think that Karl's racist and political rants should get him removed.

OTOH, he sometimes gives out pretty bogus information and /that/ is
quite possibly going to hurt Linux uptake with some newer users.
I guess I am +/-1 for a grand total vote of 0.

Move on; nothing to see here.  I ain't the 'droid you're looking for.
