"Steve Carroll" again showing what a fscking dumbshit he is.

Would *anyone* claim that "Windows users" differ, politically, from
the population at large?  Think about it.

Some of the idiocy that one reads in here is just off the fscking

"Windows users" at large probably not.

Windows users in COLA absolutely. They are, without any exception, a bunch 
of right wingers and several are openly vile racists. In short, the 
filthiest scum imaginable
Shortly followed by the cretins from the Mac camp. Those may be ṕolitically 
more variable, but they too are without any exception a horde of imbeciles

THE HORROR! Right-wingers! OMG!!!

> and several are openly vile racists.

In our countries, we have the right to free speech as well as the right
to believe whatever we wish. As a result, if we choose to be racists,
that decision is protected so long as we don't promote violence of any
kind. I feel sorry that you supposedly live in a country where your
rights are being trampled on to make way for terrorists and rapists, but
it's not our fault that Germans are such pussies.

participated in the extermination of millions of jews.

Tell us again how Mac users are not worth even being turned into
fertilizer since, after all, that's what you Germans do with people you
consider inconvenient.

    Take away the religious wingnuts from the GOP and I could easily
be a registered Republican. You can't quite generalize like that. I
think both parties are far too eager to meddle in your affairs but

The two parties are nothing more than 2 sides of the same corporate coin 
they receive.  To believe otherwise is to show a lack of knowledge.

Said the "fscking dumbshit" who (mis)read the context of 'COLA posters' and interpreted it as "the population at large" while issuing his ad hominem.

Yes, you can only imagine it because it never happened here.

Indeed! 

Hint: This isn't a right/wrong argument. You might notice that Kelsey said how things 'seem' to him and, as he didn't necessarily specify any kind of a cutoff point with respect to a timeline, I interpret that as an open door to respond with my view of how things 'seem' to me as seen in the decade plus I've been reading COLA. From my viewpoint, being that so many of these people he's referring to are, in actuality, very few in number, Windows users like Snit, Lloyd, cc, Desktop Rabbit, etc. (none of whom I'd believe would necessarily tend to 'vote republican') are overshadowed. From what I recall this isn't the case throughout COLA's history, just that these few 'conservatives' have made it appear that way to the point where only a relatively small number of posters even bother to post now. In other words, I've made a 'choice' to voice how things 'seem' to me and,  if I've committed a sin here, it was to drag history into my thought process while leaving it out of my wording. With that in mind,  I'll amend it to read:

I think just as many liberal Windows users have participated in COLA (even doing some trolling) as have conservative users.

Note: This is not to say that the people I've mentioned can so easily be pigeon holed in the manner that Kelsey used in his statement, just that they are more likely to lean liberal than the 'few conservatives' I'm referring to.

Confused? I suspect so...I guess I'll have to wait for you to show you can differentiate COLA posters from "the population at large" before I can expect a nuanced thought process from you. 

"Think about that".  ;)

Right.  The fallout from Kelsey Bjarnason's self-nuke has touched all
those around him -- those fellow leftist Democrats who welcome all sorts
of "big government mitts in their pockets and maximum interference in
their lives and business yet when it comes to choice of OS, it's the
dead opposite; they want choice, freedom, options, and prefer not to be
told what to do, what to buy when to buy.  It's a wonder the cognitive
dissonance doesn't make their poor little brains melt."

Reversal and projection is all you've got... how disappointing, after 
reading much better replies from you to Gohde...

Crying "reversal and projection" in response to a notice of self-nuke
