Math Campbell makes a perfect example of bad Linux advocacy, though he didn't refer to Linux specifically.

In yesterday's edition of The Register, Lucy Sherrif published Campbell's letter¹ demanding that John Leyden goes "back to your crack den, agent of Satan!" And all for pointing out that Internet Explorer gained some ground over Mozilla Firefox.²

I'm interested in both of these writeups because they affirm two things:

It doesn't matter what computer you use, or what applications you use, or what operating system you use. You negate any uniqueness the moment you connect to the ultra-common Internet.
Flamers like Campbell don't do any good to the Linux, GNU or Open Source communities.

For the record, I'm not so much pro-Microsoft as I am anti-idiot.
