"If you don't like it, don't use it!"

[RodNICE]

The above statement leads me to believe that many of my fellow Linux users can not stand critique of the 1's and 0's that comprises the world's best OS. If I say that Linux is a hard tool to implement, why do most feel that such a statement is a personal attack on everyone that uses the system?

If a political group has a certain problem with their government, are they expected to leave their homeland or to change it for the better?

Also, I believe that answers to most of everyone's questions can be found via google; if so, then would that not eliminate the need for this site? Is it true that this site should be used as a last resort, instead of how others have been using it, as a primary resource?

JL logic: You are only free to post your replies if they in no way, shape, or form, seem to degrade our free system--Linux. If you have a frustration with Linux, you must be a friend to the enemy--Microsoft Corporation. Do not ask a question here, unless you have searched the Net and found your answer.


Say what you must, but I'm still running MEPIS.

Strogian, but I've never talked bad about you, have I? I've never insulted you nor do I ever intend to. Why am I treated thus?

Errrmm...

I'm thinking moderators need to close this flamebait thread down. Please.

I was trying to find that post but couldn't. I hope you stick around and contribute. I think on every forum I have looked over on any subject there is always a response somewhere like the one you pointed out. Some folks get a little fanatical, some folks get tired of seeing the same questions all the time, and some folks are having a bad day.
Perhaps you could stick around and be the ying to that yang?
Myself, I don't hate Microsoft, I'm just jealous because they are all so rich and control 90% of the OS market. Now if they sent me a couple of million dollars, I would change my middle name to Longhorn. I'm for sale.
And I'm glad there are newbies around, otherwise I would be the dumbest person on this forum and they would be telling me to "RTFM" ( does that stand for- "reach the forum moderator?"). :)

I am taking this as a serious question, thus will give a serious answer. Because your OP was somewhat negative or provocative in tone. In addition, since you ask, one must wonder what purpose your OP serves. Would it have been missed if not present? Probably not. Does its presence serve any real useful purpose? Only in that in an open forum, all should be able to express their opinions, which you did, and which the two respondents have also done. It is likely you don't like our responses any more than we liked your OP.
