How terrible! That must mean that they would rather use Windows or Mac! Not. -highhorse doesn't understand the importance of software freedom, so he takes it out on his moral and intellectual superiors. He thinks it's about being a "cheapskate" or a "freeloader". -highhorse claims that "the open source nature of Linux tends to attractthe type of persona who somehow believes that all avenues are one-way streets set up to benefit him (and only him) as the true & deserving holy center of the universe." -highhorse is a stupid person and an asshole. -- "Way to miss the point, which was that the FOSS model is at risk of a catastrophic failure because the 'center cannot hold' when the status quo is that there's far too many freeloaders who never pay" - lying asshole "-hh"
