Of course not. I'm just a common Linux user.

"An ABMer would never, ever use any product from the "evil empire"..."

At least, they would say so. But I'm pretty sure that most of those trolls (Xunil, etc.) really do use Windows or MS software. They're just idiots who are saying stuff to get people exited or mad. Some of them may be doing it to portray Linux users in a bad light. Question: If most of the Linux community is really made up of whiners and "ABMers" as you say, then what makes Wine so successful and popular?

"...so if you use MS Office, prepare for the millions of flames telling you that StarOffice is better, more secure, will fold your laundry, and act as a mistress when your wife isn't looking."

Haven't gotten anything yet. There are not nearly as many trolls here as you think. (And I'm glad of it!)

"Just because I don't crow along with Linux zealots every time a new exploit for a 4 year old hole comes out, or whine because Win 95 forced you to run as "admin", doesn't mean I would never blame Microsoft."

And yet you do indeed never blame Microsoft. You beat everyone's ears about where Linux falls short (sometimes using irony), and yet you remain silent when a problem with Windows or MS software comes into the spotlight. Obviously, you're biased. (Yes, I am too, but I've never tried to deny it as you have.)

"I don't come here and say "Microsoft is evil because IE sucks", I simply use Firefox (something which I've often posted in *gasp* relevant threads)."

You definitely haven't posted that often here, if you have at all. I am speaking from what I have seen, which is the vast majority of your posts.

"If not whining on cue makes me a "Never Blame Microsoft" person, so be it. That is one label I *will* wear with pride."

No, it is not because of "not whining on cue". It is because you never blame Microsoft.
