Show me where I said anything to Sean that warranted his outburst.

 JH> I was being neutral, whether you like it or not.

That's a crock and you know it. You didn't say a thing until Tim made his
comment.

 JH> And just for the record, if you remember, I told Sean I agreed with you
about Ubuntu.

I do remember that. But, you then went silent when sean had his childish
outburst.

 JH> If he was being so snotty, why didn't he jump on me too?

Because he knows you. He's met you personally.

 JH> You bristle whenever anybody slams Linux;

Huh? When have I done that? As I have said reteadedly (and I'm getting blue in
the face from saying it) *ALL* OSes suck at something. It would be quite dull
if there was only one OS. I couldn't care less what you, Sean or anyone else
uses. It's a free country and I applaud diversity. Just don't misrepresent the
OS you don't use or I'll be there to correct you. Sean took offense at that
because he's an OS/2 zealot. Say one bad thing about OS/2 like I said about the
eCS demo not recognizing my USB keyboard and mouse and he starts his childish
namecalling and acting superior.

 JH> he does it when they slam OS/2.

This part you got right.

Do I have to repeat the *ALL* OSes suck?

 JH> I get it when I slam MS.

M$ can take care of themselves. I use and have used their products and have no
real problem with them.

 JH>  Big deal.  I'm not taking anybody's side.

Right, so when Sean had his childish outburst you were quick to tell him to
grow up. Uh huh.

 JH> Get over it.

I take exception to people who question my standing in my Church simply because
I don't agree with them on their chosen OS.

Sean doesn't even know me. He's never met me. I have never said anything to him
here in FIDO for him to lash out like he did.

Did I tell you that I think *ALL* OSes suck?
