From what I have seen of both, neither are open minded to dissenting opinions. I was merely attempting to illustrate that Matunga is as anti-Linux as Sumware is anti-Microsoft. |

Although I think both methods are disingenuous.
Regardless, it was tongue in cheek as I don't actually think they are the same person. So if I offended anyone, I apologize. |

I AM NOT, NOR HAVE I EVER BEEN, matunga. I promise! Geez!
Yes, I strongly support FOSS. Guilty.
Yes, I find many of MS' well documented tactics unappealing and frequently skirting legality, if not plunging overboard. Groklaw and numerous others have published the sordid details over the years.

said by Matt:Although I think both methods are disingenuous. strident - loud, harsh, grating, or shrill; discordant. See Synonyms at loud, vociferous.
vociferous - loud and forceful
disingenuous - not straightforward or candid; insincere or calculating
Disingenuous? I strive to be accurate and clear.
said by Matt:So if I offended anyone, I apologize. Anyone in particular? |
