In almost any human endeavor where multiple teams or versions of 
something exist, there will always be some people who 'pick sides' and 
passionately defend that choice even to the point of denigrating all 
alternatives.  It is less common within the sub-categories of Linux, but 
it does occur and is hardly surprising.

As Ubuntu gains in popularity and begins to outshine other distros, it 
is only to be expected that some fans of other distros will be 
aggravated and make a bit more noise than before.  This is no big deal.
Its all just part of the healthy rivalry that spurs on the continuing
innovation and advancement of Linux in general.  If everyone agreed,
where would the new ideas come from after all?
