There cannot be a single person out there that calls himself a Linux advocate and endorses the use of MS technologies at the same time without being somehow wired to the Windows world.

There are many, but that is not the point of this post. You created a straw man argument by reversing mine.

I say something like: “X pretends to be Y”

You argue that I say: “all Y are X”

I never suggested such a thing.

The linked to article points to a site run by a MVP that also claims to be a Linux user and is most critical of gaming on Linux. So by what logic do you claim these observations are paranoid.

While Roy is not making the paranoid claim that powered_by_tux suggests, I can’t help but wonder about powered_by_tux “being somehow wired to the Windows world.” There’s just something about human nature that makes people enjoy attacking their own guilt–perhaps for many different reasons.

I always knew it!
