overuse of "jihad"

2001-03-04 19:25:27+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Happened again. On a web-designish mailing list someone made comments about target platform that would drive away at least 5% of potential customers. When the economics of this were pointed out (How much would your marketing department pay for 5%?), he responded with an attack on the "Linux jihad", never mind that those who pointed out the error of his ways were talking about Mac customers. No, pointing out things you might want to consider about your business decisions is an "education". A jihad is what'll happen when management finds out he made those decisions without fully considering the facts.
