This is amazing!

After reading the article and then gandering at the commentary, and seeing the explosive personal attacks in the (lack of interesting) commentary responding to your opinion of Linus Torvalds' childish and at best, boorish comment about the security issues vs the ordinary bugs in the Linux code -- How quick these mindless rants came about and brining into it, a personal attack against you, the author of the comment I speak of.

It is mind-numbing to read such rants for either the Mac or the Linux fan-boys. Mindless diatribes that is being held accountable by the judgments of many people that come here, or anywhere that has an IT publication on the web.

This ranting by these fan-boys goes passed the word 'absurd' I like Linux, I use Ubuntu as a toy box and test box learning new things. I see fault easily enough in any operating system, and check this out -- To use an odious and contemporary word, they all suck with flaws, get over it!

Nothing grieves me more than whiners complaining about their issues with Microsoft, Apple and Linux without ever really doing anything productive. It is no surprise that both Linux in any flavor, and for Apple that it is only hovering around 10% of the world's populace that use Microsoft, especially wading through comments as idiotic as these.

There is no excuse for Linus to lip off and send a lackluster comment out like this, and leaves me to the realization, no matter how good he or anyone here thinks the Linux world is, it is only a dismal and fleeting reflection of these ranting diatribes of those that represent the Open Source community.

The very next time you Linux Fan-Boys want to dishonor the few hard working people trying to make the PC and IT world a better place, try engaging the mind, expanding your use of language and thought to better suite and represent the community that you value so dearly.

Also, I might add, leaving people's family members and personal attacks out of your objectives and opinions. You folks out here remind me of a pack of misfit trolling dogs that should be rounded up and affirmatively dealt with!

Yeah, if you can attempt to bring the "Pro Linux" opinions up a serious notch, which I certainly do not think that you're capable enough, that would really be amazing!
