I will post this link weekly unless there is a consensus from Linux
advocates for me not to do so. The section below states clearly what
this group is for. The wintrolls clearly break the charter of this
newsgroup.

1.4 The Charter of comp.os.linux.advocacy
The charter of comp.os.linux.advocacy is:
For discussion of the benefits of Linux compared to other operating
systems.
That single sentence is the one and only charter of the newsgroup
comp.os.linux.advocacy. The newsgroup's charter is for the newsgroup as
a
place for supporters of Linux to gather to discuss Linux, for the
betterment of the Linux community and the promotion and development of
Linux. It supports this as a place for those who would like to learn
more
about Linux to come to learn from those who know Linux. It does not call
for it to be a place where the anti-Linux propagandists to gather in
order
to discredit Linux.

7.5 Where the Disrupters Should Go
Many of the readership of COLA would like to tell the anti-Linux
Propagandists and trolls just where they can go. But that balmy place
that
makes the planet Venus appear to be the Antarctic by comparison is not a
valid destination.
A common excuse made by the propagandists for their posting to COLA is,
``If not in COLA where will I go to post?''. The answer to that question
for any particular propagandist or troll can be simple or it can be
complex, it depends on what that person claims to be his motivation to be
posting in COLA.
Unfortunately, their claimed motivations and their true reasons for
posting in COLA do not often agree. What appears to be their motivation
on
first consideration is most often only a smoke screen to hide their true
motivation as an anti-Linux propagandist with their intended purpose to
disrupt COLA and prevent the continued growth and acceptance of the Linux
community.
Here are some of the claimed motivations of the propagandists and trolls,
along with where they should be posting based on those motivations:
[...]
* The trespasser has come to COLA in order to vent his dislike of
Microsoft and/or Windows. For that purpose several newsgroups have
been created.
