I am actually opposed to giving out the windows BS thread, that is helping them be stupid, it's bad for them, and we need to protect these poor and needy people, who through no fault of their own, have fallen throught he cracks in this computer age of ours. You would not provide alcohol to the alcoholic, why provide assignine stupidity to the misguided.

That's why when I say I'm not going to help them with Windows issues and send them over to the black hole, I also say if they want to try something else they will surely get higher quality help here.

My thinking being, as flawed as it may be, is that they will get so frustrated with the lusers at windowsbbs that they will come back and get real help, but with a better product.

I much agree with cloud. Every "just format C:" or "Use Linux" answer means another windows user who think Linux is for some geeky, living in thier parents basement, snob.

elitist, star-trek worshiping, pocket-protector wearing losers. :D    Sorry, I just had to add a few more.

Hey I totally support you Cloud, this is what I've been fruitlesly preaching. Although I get quite a laugh at the "Windows sucks use Linux!" responses!

Im glad to know that me and cloud aren't the only ones who feel this way.  

I highly doubt that people will come here, ask for help, and never come back. If your not instantly inclined to challenge the validity of the KMFMS article when you arrive here, there is hope for you yet.

 OK, i love the forums but i have one HUGE gripe. now before i start let me say that i HATE M$ and i use mainly freebsd. HOWEVER....
When someone comes here to ask a question about which windows version sucks less, or how to get rid of WMP, please DO NOT say something like "windows sucks, use linux" or "download the solution here: redhat.com". People - it gets SO ANNOYING when someone trys to get help with the crappy os that is windows and all they get is a "fuck you, windows blows". That is VERY immature, i wish it would stop.

No. it is not immature. Windows users can come here and bullshit all they want can they? and as soon as somebody who is not a dumbass windoid wants to say something they are suddenly immature? bullshit. How dare you tell me what to say. These forums are very deeply based in free speech and anybody who comes here must accept that.

I agree with cloudstrife...

Next time someone asks something about Windows, ignore him/her if your thinking to place a "Windows sucks, use Linux" reply.

Let the people reply who will help this poor soul, and say something like: OK, now you have Windows Messenger off your computer, but when you "eXPerience" Windows XP more, you'll find more inconviniences. You can choose to switch to another operating system now for free! You can even use Linux, BSD and Windows on the same computer via dual boot.

your comments are confusing. you tell us first NOT to say 'windows sucks, use linux' but then you say EXACTLY that in a slightly more roundabout way! quite frankly i feel that my responses to people will fit their initial posts. If they barge in spewing shit, i will insult them in response. If they appear sensible but clueless, i will be polite. If they seem stubborn for no reason, i will make it clear that i am unwilling to help them until they help themselves, and if they are abusive, they can expect abuse in response.

this forum will not, as long as i have anything to do with it, become a mollycoddling haven for idiotic windows losers. There are thousands upon thousands of dives where they can huddle together and try to convince each other that their software is the best (which they need to be reassured of now that they have paid so much for it), and there are precious few forums where free speech is allowed, much less respected.

Thank you and goodnight.
