I agree. As Ubuntu becomes popular , trolls such as the poster you
replied to gravitate towards it. Well, he is either a troll and just
wants to get on peoples nerves, or he is sort of a self styled "guru"
who thinks he knows all there is to know and looks down upon others as
scum. You can find many such supposedly 'guru' people on newsgroups
related to Linux or Unix or C/C++ groups. They are characterized by
extreme arrogance and vanity, total ignorance of social etiquette and
the belief that they are always right and others just don't have the
basic intelligence to see their point of view. They somehow think that
if someone makes a mistake which they catch, they have the moral duty to
belittle the unfortunate mortal human to oblivion. Some of such
unbalanced souls also actually know quite a bit of stuff (in fact, their
trust that they are intelligent is a major cause of this), they are just
not developed enough as humans to share their knowledge without thinking
they are some kind of infallible gods.

They are either kids and will grow up and hopefully become wiser, or
they are not kids and they will never grow up.


Short advice, just ignore such trouble makers. It is the best way to
deal with them here. They will go away if their malfunctioning
bully-egos are not fed.

For the newcomers reading the offending posts in this thread: ignore
these. Let the dogs bark up the trees. Do not let it get to your mind.
It takes all kinds to make a world. And in this online world, you are
bound to see such nasty samples who crave attention. But keep in mind
that the vast majority here are helpful decent human beings that you
would love to share ideas with.
