Not necessarily. From a "neutral" editor perhaps. But from someone affiliated 
with the KDE project, questionable at best. Things like these have backfired 
before, it's about time we learn from History.

Even worse would be linking from the Dot or other prominent KDE sites to 
inflammatory content.

That doesn't give us much of a mature image to the outside world either, it's 
really not much better than taking cheap shots at other free software 
desktops, if at all.

Now, the article isn't written yet, and perhaps it turns out nicely. But from 
what you write here I am not getting excited yet.
