You also have my permission to use this post as proof that I am a troll, insulting, etc. No biggie.

I was organizing my notes, and while archiving some email messages I came across a few from someone you know as “Gentoo/Sabayon User”. The person you smeared and flamed because he was using Windows. You took advantage of the fact he was posting through a corporate proxy to do your little number on him at the behest of your insufferable nymshifter troll friend from Slashdot. Remember?

Now normally I wouldn’t give a hoot if he was posting from Windows, Linux or a Commodore machine just dug up from a chicken coop in Kabul. If he says he uses Linux at home and Windows at work then I believe him, because he’s sure as hell more trustworthy than you and your cadre, or at least I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing him lie about anything.

I was using that option in GMail that gives you the raw body of a message, headers and all. You might be familiar with it. And I noticed that every single one of the emails I have from him, with the exception of the very first one sent from his work address, have the following header in them:

User-Agent: KMail/1.9.10

Here’s a big fat fuck you on his behalf. Because I’m sure he’s too nice to do that – but I’m not. And I don’t give a shit about being politically correct. I’m too old and jaded for that.

Think about this the next time you sit there and wonder why so many people dislike you, instead of just chalking it up to that nebulous Microsoft-sponsored conspiracy you claim to be the victim of but as far as I can tell to this day curiously incapable of actually proving.
