Thats because you are blind.
Follow the thread:

I said:

"And all that are left in the wake are the MS groupies who continue to live in a fantasy world and post nonsense to forums like this. Even MS itself takes Linux seriously these days. Those who don't are just flouting their ignorance and foolishness for all the world to see."

memuser said:

"You call people that like MS products idiots. It takes one to know one. Just because someone likes another product does not make them stupid or foolish. Its a choice. I thought that was one of the great arguments on the Linsux people was choice."

1) Show me anywhere in my original post where I called people that like MS products idiots. So who is defensive? I do call people who do not take Linux seriously idiots, and I would stand by that.

2) The term "Linsux" is intended to belittle and make fun of Linux. It is one way in which to bash Linux. Find anywhere in any of my many posts that I have used such techniques against Microsoft. Actually if you look through my posts carefully, you will find occasions where I have complimented Microsoft.

My next post was attempt on my part to drive home the above points:


"but since when does that require one to make assinine derogatory statements about Linux? Its the constant idiotic rants against Linux that are the mark of a fool. There are many sharp competent users out there who are delighted with MS products. Nothing wrong with that. More power to them. So ... if the shoe fits, deal with it."

1) Note that no where in any of these posts have I singled out a specific poster for critisism. My original post was to the article itself, note to another post. memuser, whoever he is, chose to identify himself with my post, in his response chose to twist what I originally said, and you come along with:

" I Didn't Read Any Linux Bashing

in his post. Why are you being so defensive?"

So what part of the above sequence don't you understand?
