Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Leading with "more people should consider these alternative options" would have sounded a lot less nagging and passive aggressive than "Or don’t use Microsoft products? Just sayin’". I'm not just tone policing, those are actually completely different sentences. People who don't know about the alternatives and read the latter don't learn about LibreOffice or WPS Office, they learn that apparently someone hates them for wanting to make a spreadsheet or a slideshow or whatever.

If you just want to be mean and condescending to people for using Microsoft products, feel free, but I'd really prefer if people didn't keep affirming negative stereotypes about free software users like myself.
