That's not it, it's not just "our" way or the highway.  You keep 
mentioning political crap (I dislike politics in general.) and assigning 
labels (Another thing I dislike.) while overlooking the fact the PLUG is 
a kind of social group.  If we don't get along and feel comfortable 
together, there is no reason to continue hanging out together.

Think about this: iwanu ga hana.  'Literally translated as "Not speaking 
is the flower." It means, "Some things are better left unsaid; Silence 
is golden."'

If this is what it takes to get along with this group, then just stop 
trying to convince everyone that you are right and that Linux only 
belongs on servers.  It's OK to voice your opinion, but it gets old 
after a while.

Actually, I like to be disruptive on occasion.  Please, send me the 
links to the Windows lists that you're on.  I want to go on them and 
convince them that Linux is the ultimate server platform and that 
Windows is only used because Windows users don't know any better.  And 
that, maybe, a future release of Windows will offer a capable server.  
How many times would they want to hear that?  (I bet PLUG has tolerated 
more than the Windows lists would.)
