• Jobsists vs Linuxists vs Microsoftians

    Microsoft now has its own Church

    There's a rather famous story of a journalist who goes into a bar
    gets a drink and sits down and then two more guys come in and the
    bartender screams of those two guys for them to get out
    now.

    The journalist is understandably confused and he asks the
    bartender why he kick them out so forcefully. Bartender says he
    recognized some of the patches on their jackets as roundabout
    Neo-Microsoft symbols. Not full-blown swastikas just something
    that lets people in the know understand that their
    neo-Microsofts.

    Journalist asks why not just let the guys sit down get a drink
    since they were being kind of quiet and didn't seem to be causing
    any trouble. Bartender replies that if you don't kick them out
    right away they bring their friends and then their friends bring
    their friends and before you know it your bar is full of
    Microsoft Security Agents and before long your bar gets a
    reputation for being full of Microsofts and after that your bar
    is a Microsoft bar.

    That's how you troll. It's like boiling a frog only a frog is
    smart enough to jump out. Human beings are often dumb enough to
    let themselves be boiled.

    One that anyone can learn. It can also be taught and you'll find
    that there are periodic conventions among the primary purveyors
    of fake news and misinformation to discuss how to do
    it..

    The key to trolling is to know how to walk right up to the line
    and get away with it. There's a rather famous story of a
    journalist who goes into a bar gets a drink and sits down and
    then two more guys come in and the bartender screams of those two
    guys for them to get out now.

    The journalist is understandably confused and he asks the
    bartender why he kick them out so forcefully. Bartender says he
    recognized some of the patches on their jackets as roundabout
    Neo-Microsoft symbols. Not full-blown Microsoft Windows logos
    just something that lets people in the know understand that
    they're neo-Microsoftians.
