And what happened to 'assume good flavor'... I mean faith! Assume Good Faith! I am sure that Rory has only the best intentions. But it is true that his message could be misinterpreted.
I think we should all take a step back and try our very best not to eat each other. I'm sure that if they don't meet over lunch -- and perhaps ensure the expedient measure of living on different floors -- Rory and Tux can be professional colleagues, with the same mission of delicious, delicious (fish-flavored?) free knowledge.

Stripes. Yeah, right. Clearly, Rory is wearing tats of their own. Totally covered in 'em! I'm calling foul. "Delicious, organic friends"... I wanna see a photo of Tux to verify life. Something's not right here.

First, I want to make clear that I express no opinion on the ink conversation. I respect the diverse points of views in our community. I understand that everyone has their own stripes.
That said, I am deeply saddened and frankly shocked by allegations voiced by certain people in this thread that somehow I would consider eating
Tux,
the official mascot of the Linux kernel.
As a supporter of the free knowledge movement, I hunger for role models like Tux. Penguins are known for their outstanding qualities[1], and, showing my good taste, I recognize that my small LCA Foundation profile

hardly matches the prominent recognition of Tux’s Wikipedia article. [3]
I
accordingly decided long ago that Tux was off the menu.
To the contrary, I offer my paw in friendship to Tux. Some say that open source animals are full of bugs, turning them into organic delights. I do support organic meats. I mean friends. Organic friends.
Delicious, organic friends.
I am really hungry now. (I’m not allowed to eat legal interns
anymore.[4])
Tux, let’s get together soon, real soon, maybe over lunch.
Best,
