#365539 — Do Linux Advocates Help or Harm Linux?

Fromflatfish+++ <flatfish4real@gmail.com>
Date2016-08-15 18:16 -0400
SubjectDo Linux Advocates Help or Harm Linux?
Message-ID<128zsm3cd85ei.2b9n32m33rli$.dlg@40tude.net>
COLA is one of the top Linux USENET group in terms of traffic.
In fact aside from the pirate binary groups, COLA is in the top groups
overall.

So what does comp.os.linux.advocacy contribute to actual Linux
advocacy.
Let's take a look. Shall we?
Of course!

chrisv-- Vulgar, responds to those he claims to have kill filed. Has
zero technical knowledge. Ask him about negative feedback sometime.

Marek Novotny -- Complete CLI nut. Spends his evenings cuddled up with
a CLI compiler and VIM.. Out of touch with reality.

William Poaster -- Vaccuous, empty suit. William Poaster (aka Geoff
Fitton) is employed as a janitor and recently won the "Golden Plunger
Award" for most toilets cleared in a day. Congratulations William!

7 -- WTF? Is it even human?

RonB -- A person who seems like a nice person but tries to explain why
Linux is superior and fails every time. Like I said, he does seem like
a decent although misguided person.

Chris Ahlstrom -- Likes to wipe men's pee pee... Need I say more?

Please feel free to add to the list of dysfunctional Linux users.

Hating on things that are good, like Free software, attracts freaks,
kooks, and scumbags.

Let me fix that for you, turd:

Free software attracts freaks, kooks, and scumbags.

See the "advocates" in cola for many examples of each.

I didn't say that, shithead.  Why are you claiming I did?

Because you're as dishonest as most Linux losers, of course.

Frankly I don't believe he's capable of learning about Linux. From
replies I've seen to him in the past, he bangs on about VB. IMO he's mad
'cos his M$ world is shrinking, & he's nowhere to run to.

I've seen him post in other groups for python as it relates to
databases. He's not an idiot. He just has some axe to grind on Linux is
all. And in here, he changes a lot from how he acts elsewhere.

Well I've had him globally binned since almost Day 1, when he clearly
stated his intention to be antagonistic, argumentative & contradictory.
AFAIC he labelled himself a wintroll from the get go.
