New one I came across half an hour ago:
Analysis of a typical response
,----[ Quote ]
| The exchange always seems to go like this:
|
| FOSS advocate: Microsoft is doing [some business strategy], which is bad,
| because [some negative effect on the FOSS community, the user community
| or society].
|
| Microsoft fan: Have you tried [insert some random Microsoft product
| name]? It's excellent! But you don't see that because for you it's only
| Linux/FOSS. You obviously hate Microsoft (or Bill Gates, or Steve
| Balmer). (Sometimes thrown in: Microsoft worked hard for its market
| share, why should they not take advantage of it? You FOSS people are
| communists and don't like the free-market.)

Amnesia, paranoid, fanaticism etc. are all just methods for protecting a
criminal behaviour in this case. Don't ever accept it. The problem is that
John and Mary Bloggs get exposed to so much brainwash (something arriving from
Gates-owned press), so they are taught to discredit 'Mafiasoft doubters'.
