The revenge of the Linux munchkins
We have known about the Microsoft muchkins all our lives. Those are people who are paid to scan the Internet for unfavorable articles and use the comment facilities to do what Microsoft does best: spread FUD. As far as I know there is no such equivalent in the Linux world. It just seems like that.
Linux munchkins are a mixture of hardworking programmers, fanboys and trolls and they will do everything to debunk your article with varying degrees of politeness. Let's make it clear that I don't want to deny anybody the right to comment on an article, especially when he is right. But I doubt the usefulness of some comments. Let me give you a small summary.
"I just think your being a sensationalist for your own gain."
"How about making sure you install the software properly before telling the world."
"I agree with many of the posters that reviews like this do not serve the community well. Your mistakes in your initial installation soured the tone of this review from which it could never recover."
"For someone who calls himself a "guru" this is no good promotion for your reputation."
"I wish bloggers who play at being journalists had enough pride to actually research something before posting."
