I don't see it as a "pro-linux" group, just because it's dedicated to
discussing the benefits of linux. Your opinion may vary, but I'm still
not finding it explicitly says this group, or the discussions in this
group, has to be pro-linux.
There's no part of that charter that says there actually has to be any
benefits. Labelling this group as "pro-linux", especially with the
addendum that people who are "pro-windows" should raise suspicion,
sounds more like fascism than the spirit of free software and open
source to me.

Says you, and me. Mr. Schestowitz seem to have another opinion, and
it's him I'm asking.

Exactly. I've left out most of the remainder of your post since it
only contained references to trolls who is annoying for many other
reasons than preferring windows in particular.

I'm not talking about "those guys". I'm questioning whether "another
guy" who holds the opinion that people who prefer another operating
system than he does are subject to suspicion should be taken seriously
or not.
