MariaDB isn't an honest actor.  They repeatedly utilize FUD to push their
agenda.

I was so frustrated by the columnstore experience that I had to go on
disability for mental health reasons, and I was fired while on disability
for blogging about BSL.

To attack me for my religious views after criticizing their
characterization of RedShift on LinkedIn was unconscionable. The account
had zero connections, no activity except commenting on my post, had only
one job listed (33 years it said) and the university the person claimed to
be from did not have the person in the alumni directory.

MariaDB won't respond to this, but you know it is true because there was no
reason other than spite to remove articles about my tools that I did not
even contribute and which are now dead links from other community webpages
and blogs.
