Flamed. Huh. Yes, if not genuflecting before the altar of Linux and (horrors!) turning to the Dark Side and reinstalling Windows, and then speaking the truth about Linux, is considered flaming.

And the flaming I'm receiving right now is further proof of the existence of the Linux AttitudeTM, I might add...

Who needs to prise Linux. If I call you a rat-ba$t4rd and then ask for directions Im sure I would get more than a polite look and a handshake after you give them to me.

Saying 'how do I install Firefox' is not the same as saying 'you suck, how do I install FireFox'. Its called manners dude, you get what you give.

truth about Linux, is considered flaming.

The truth that you dont know ifconfig from ipconfig? what book were you using?

You said Linux users attack newbs with questions for sport. I put up a post showing a counter example of that. You put up a post to you slapping somone in the face and not even asking a question (where was the question in your post?)

Here is a typical exchange between a total newbie and some help on a free Linux Forum

Notice when one refrains from insulting somebody they get polite helpful answers..
