I don't have enough karma to downvote comments...but thanks for rubbing it in though. That's a beautiful tall horse your on by the way.
This particular comment got flagged, which is great. That being said, I can't count the number of times I've had someone reply to me with "Switch to Linux"...and I can't downvote that. Signal to noise?
The rules are unevenly applied. For instance, a couple of weeks ago one of those "Isn't RMS Awesome!" posts came up. I expressed a sentiment that was counter to the glowing praise people where heaping on the guy's article. I wasn't rude, but I do disagree with the guys positions on somethings and expressed that. It started being downvoted immediately...I was close to 200 at that point so I actually wrote a BS set of pablum replies and they were upvoted so I regained the karma.

Its frustrating.
