This is one of the funniest things I've ever read here. I didn't realize that this was somebody we were supposed to know either. As part of the pattern of these things go, I received a private message from this notable that began with: "Oh, I know who you are: a dick that has been given too much power. A freetard, and part of the FOSScracy at that." I'm blushing because I actually found it kind of flattering to be thought of as FOSScracy.

It's a sad commentary on something that this pattern is so prevlant. But, then, again, this kind of behavior is not the rule so I guess that's encouraging.

I hung on NANAE for a few years back in the 90s and we got this argument all the time... generally the next step is spurious threats of legal action aka. "cartooneys". The response is a game of Lumber Cartel (tinlc) variant Scissors, Paper, Rock - or "Spammer's Nad, Spammer's Other Nad, Mallet" as we call it in the Lumber Cartel (tinlc). That's usually enough to provoke a full on mouth-foaming carpet-gnawing rubber-room meltdown, at which point everyone can declare "WIN" and start to lose interest in the new chew-toy. >> Ha ha, no.

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read here. Credit must be given to Carl Sagan for the original which I slightly mangled there. But who remembers who invented the steamboat these days anyway? > I didn't realize that this was somebody we were supposed to know either. A random net.kook on a deranged mission to set the world to rights?

A > freetard, and part of the FOSScracy at that." Hah! The use of the word freetard strongly suggests Mr. I'm-Not-A-Sheeple here gets all his "original thinking" straight out of an Andrew Orlowski article! > I'm blushing because I actually found it kind of flattering to be > thought of as FOSScracy.

Oh, but it was a much more in-depth report than that! Full of vitally relevant details, like "everything's broken" and "completely unusable" and "aaarrgggghh I hate you you're so UNFAIR!" >> Face the facts: I have never met or heard of you before; it's entirely >> down to the unpleasant tone of your first post and your subsequent >> descent into full-on trollhood.
