    @fontana, this is quite an interesting window into how you formulate your strange analogies. It's the nail in the coffin of them, though.

      @dbs & I just decided on this key analogy: "Hardcore Punk is to Speed Metal as Software Freedom is to Open Source". Right, @jonobacon?

      …and, as most people know, I continue to love the #Dead_Kennedys to this day & while I once liked #Metallica, I think they're sell outs now!

      @bkuhn #Metallica stopped doing anything after …And Justice for All, didn’t they? #sarcasm

      @bkuhn They may be sell outs but, Death Magnetic was a damn good album.

      @bkuhn I really don't see the connection?

      @bkuhn ha! interesting analogy, I think it kinda works, they are related but different and different communities.

      @jonobacon I agree, its an excellent analogy. Its related, there is crossover, but they are clearly not the same /cc @bkuhn

      In my case, the connection relies on lazy generalization: speed metal = hardcore music w/diminished political / ethical agenda.

      @dbs Yes. I think you might be right there

      @jonobacon, Darn, I should have taken bets with @dbs about whether or not your response to my statement would include the word "community".

      @bkuhn: I fail to see how sell outs would record such a thing as Lulu

      @bkuhn of course it would. This is @jonobacon we’re talking about (not that I disagree w/him thou)

      Actually, #Metallica was traditionally a cross-over point for the metal heads & hard core punks: "…& Justice for All" was highly political.

      @bkuhn and a fairly good alubm to boot. Thou the mechanical drums are a touch flaky… Master of Puppets is still the best thou.
