Linux is for B*tches?

Welcome to geeky 3l33t-ism (elitism) in all its glory, right down to the misspellings:

In the beginning, Linux was pretty cool. It was free (always a plus), had a rapid development cycle, a moderately knowledgeable user base, and a funny mascot.

Then the pinheads arrived.

I don't have an issue with Linux so much as the user base it attracts. More and more I'm reading about and experiencing what I like to refer to as the "dumbing down of Linux".

Everyone goes on and on about how helpful "the community" is with open source software. What's not talked about is that most of "the community" are guys like this.
