There was a single postig by Jan Pantelje about the merits or lack
thereof of DOS and Windows. And this caused this 'Max' guy to go onto
a name calling spree centered around "as everyone knows, all Linux
user are ...". And these kind of sweeping statements based on
ignorance are 'bigotry' in my book, cf

http://oald8.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/dictionary/bigotry

especially considering that the person who posted them doesn't even
understand why his 'as we all know all XXX are YYY'-statements might
offend people. So far, I had been following the thread and was
thinking about possibly writing something useful (specifically, that
serial console are not that uncommon, especially for 'embedded uses',
and that terminal emulators usually don't support "Linux console
codes) but this "there are three operating systems in the world, DOS,
Windows and Linux and the latter is solely used by all the crackpots/
fruitcakes "as everyone knows"' made me reconsider that.
