Said the man with rose colored glasses...
Nothing in there was meant to be condescending. Strange how you always take it that way. Possibly you feel the need to be defensive even when not called for???

I am simply saying, if it meets your needs, then use it and live with your choice, not call me names or throw insults at me because I do not agree with you.

So you seem to be saying that even though I call MS (or other proprietary offerings) to task when I see it, that isn't being fair to open source. Hmmm, do you see a double standard here or are those glasses coloring that too?

Here's how it will be tic. If I think MS, Oracle, Peoplesoft, Adobe, AutoDesk, whoever, or even Linux has a weakness, I will say so. If I believe someone posts something stupid or completely inaccurate, I will speak up. If I see people claiming someone is guilty of something without having even a clue about it, I will speak up. If I see people talking trash about Bill Gates for buying millions of dollars in meds for third world countries, I am going to say something.

Now if you think that is bashing or if you happen to swallow a dictionary that day, good for you, I simply do NOT care. To further promote harmony between us, please feel free to ignore any and all posts I make. Your feedback, while appreciated, isn't required for me to express my views.

If you feel I am "bashing" anyone, please just ignore it. I do NOT agree with you and I am not about to change my mind on the subject and will continue to make factual statements as I see fit. By all means, feel free to do the same...
