content: My point is only that the conversations so commonly roll back to Windows, and therefore the swathe of radical Linux extremists who downvoat anyone who even so much as suggests an opinion that's different that theirs. The most close minded people I've ever had discussions with are on this board, and that's saying something because I sub to fph. Even when people bring reasoned points to the table that really contribute to the discourse they get flamed into oblivion. I've seen huge conversation trees with many good and many bad point for and against various OSs, but few people see it because it's so low rated, despite being a hot discussion. You might as well be defending a fat person on fph - hence the title of this post.  You assume that I do not upvote and comment here. I absolutely do. I also am not afraid speaking my mind. I don't submit many posts, though, because this is the primary place I get my news. For what it's worth I would consider what I did to be... criticism :P rather than complaining.  I definitely know your opinion of Windows. Indeed, I've upvoated a bunch of your submissions. I like to know about both good and bad things with technology I use, and anything, really.
