Actually, Anthony usually starts these flamewars. He's started about 3 or 4 on -chat in the past week or so. His primary assertion being that Unix or Unix-like systems are unsuitable on the desktop for anyone, and that everyone should switch to Windows for desktop machines. He does claim to run a FreeBSD server however, and says that Unix-like systems are ok for servers. However, he won't accept the fact that some people do indeed find Unix useful as a desktop as well. The biggest reason Terry is riled up is that Anthony doesn't play fair during arguments. He ignores any statements which point him out as being wrong, partially quotes messages so he can take parts out of context, contradicts himself, and always has to have the last word. Granted, the lovely flamefest should have stopped much earlier (as should the ones on -chat), but Anthony is the one being the Troll here. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
