I keep hearing about how great Linux is and how it is community
supported (ie:help files are few and far between) and so forth but yet
just looking around the various Linux USENET groups scares the hell out
of me.

These Linux people seem to really have a chip on their collective
shoulders.
I asked a simple question about Ardour in an Ardour mailing list and I
was met with what could be called the great wall of china.

First they called me an idiot.
Second they told me not to use Linux XXX but Linux YYY and that my
hardware was not up to the task and that I screwed up the install and
so forth.
It was horrible.

So tell me, why the hell on earth would I want to use an operating
system and ancillary programs that are mainly supported by a collection
of self righteous fools who think that their **** doesn't stink and
mine does?
Just for reference, my **** stinks......

Actually, first we called you Flatfish.

That's because you...

A) are crossposting with rec.audio.pro

B) are posting from Google

C) have a yahoo email address

D) are using a Korean proxy server....again.


So Flatfish....when are you going to get around to explaining your claim
about the Totem media player? You know, the one about it crashing while it
burns coasters?

Odd, I did a search on your ID and found no prior posting history for you.

What is your connection with the Daejon Metropolitan Office of Education
in Korea?

Maybe you'd get a better reception on mailing lists if you weren't
stealing network resources from open relays.

And there you have it ladies and gentlemen.
This is EXACTLY the same kind of nasty treatment I have received on the
mailing lists for more than one Linux program.
Is any proof offered by these idiots?
They use this Flatfish thing like some kind of a trump card when they
can't handle the truth and in effect they act like a lynch mob ganging
up on the poster.
So where is even a shred of proof of their claims?
They have none, as usual.
I posted this to several Linux groups, that the current Linux vs mac vs
windows audio debate has been posted to.
The mailing lists were Ardour and Alsa which are both Linux audio
programs. So tell me, are the Linux people so afraid that the truth be
known that they are a crazy bunch of lunatics?

Trying to exaplain virtually ANYTHING to these fanatics is like trying
to convert Moonies to Catholicism.

I'm sorry but these fools have made their beds, proven their lunacy
time and time again and now that a small handful of people are actually
trying Linux, the chickens are coming home to roost and if they don't
like it tough.
Maybe they should either grow up, or stop attempting to advocate Linux
because they don't seem to be too good at either cause.

If you won't help ask politly in the forums, that a lot of these oss
projects have or a MODERATED usenet group. Unmoderated Usenet is 80%
(approximate)useless with religous lunnatics (a lot of linux/apple
posters), trolls, spam, idiots,

I like how you ignore the wintrolls that sit in Linux groups pussing the MS
religion!

your User-agent Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 (Windows/20041206)

Take you religious preaching elsewhere. There is NOTHING worse than a
Windows user trolling a Linux group. Well, other than a Mac user doing it.

That's probably your problem, then. They're the experts in the field

Well, that's probably a result of the first problem.

Because they're probably right. Evidence? People who are competent
generally behave like they are competent and so don't ask silly
questions in newsgroups that would get them labelled as "idiot" level
if they asked that.

Intelligence shines through when the possessor has it (ahem,

Do we need any more, after the thousandth time?

Oh you do make me laugh. You are an utter fraud, yet here you come again
peddling the same stale lies and expecting us to believe it.

After the thousandth time of proving it, we need none. We know who you are

What truth? You wouldn't know the truth if it dropped on you from orbit.

No, we don't like your stupid lying trolls.

because they don't seem to be too good at either cause.

And you do any good at all, anywhere? You're the lunatic here, not any of
us. Get some help for your condition. You're sick. You appear to have no
life beyond making up this nonsense day after day after day.

Well, if those phone bank drones weren't depending on a paycheck
they would probably treat you the same way.

There's a big difference between "being helpful" and putting up
