And so is using Microsoft zealot. I was pointing out the irony of Roy
comparing Microsoft to a religion when he'll get his panties in a
bunch if it's done the other way around. I never said linux zealot was
coined for no reason. I said it has a negative connotation. The same
negative connotation Microsoft zealot has. Hint: the word zealot has a
negative connotation. That had nothing to do with my point, Linux
users crying that Microsoft is a religion is extremely hypocritical.
