Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. While I agree that the blog post is 
distasteful and unrepresentative of the Ubuntu community, I disagree that 
a corporation should have control over--here in the form of a monetary 
disincentive--my opinions on a personal blog. The same goes for mister 
moron.

Perhaps in this situation, an "inappropriate content" e-mail to LinkedIn 
is more in order because it is a site intended for professional job 
seekers and that link probably does not meet their standards of 
professionalism.
