   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.
