Why would a community make someone not want to use a product, even though
that person is able to understand the merits of a system. I mean cmon,
this is not pron we are talking about, but then again, society says people
who look a pron are perves, and it is the biggest money maker on the net.
I think that not wanting to use linux or anything because of not liking a
part of a community that uses it, is a bit immature. I don't like the
kkk, but I still own white sheets, does that mean I should never use white
sheets? cause a group of people use them for other reasons?
