Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Isn't it embarrassing using the same excuses as every 4chan racist and misogynist?

    You're affecting how people perceive Linux and doing so in a negative way, I'm not going to try and stop you or anything but I am going to say I think you're a bad person working against all the efforts and hard work of people trying to make a better world.

    How you feel about it is upto you.

    Oh and of course this was just a joke so you have to laugh and agree, right?

    This is not a joke. If you don't wake up at 4 am to start harassing windows users, you will never become a GNU/Linux Trillionaire.

    I simply envy you because you live in some world where this is the problem worth discussing and getting angry. Or your head is full of shit. It's probably the latter, given that you put people joking about Arch Linux to the same category as racists and misogynists. In this case, I don't envy, but pity you.

    I clearly didn't put them in the same category, I said they use the same defensive arguing tactic to justify their toxic bahviour.

    And no its not THE problem, I'm able to post a comment on a thread without it totally consuming my life.
