More cult-like attacks against the competition -- maybe some day RonB 
will find tasks he thinks Linux handles better than the very competition 
he loathes so much.

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.
