I just want him to show how he did as he did... then we can compare how 
it is done on the competition. This gives him a chance to show how Linux

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They 
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel 
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
