Actually to really vent I'd be having a go at bloody Bruce Perens.
His overly vocal opinion about "how he discourages the Open Source community
from cheering the virus writers on".. He makes it sound like we're happy

I haven't yet seen a single OSS site that is in anyway please that this
virus is out there..

Bugger's got a big mouth..

the media just spits it out as gospel and don't bother doing any research on
it.
Idiots.
