The next shoe drops in this story. This reinforces my instinct that a
careful, dispassionate rebuttal is the best way to answer nonsense about
Linux.

So instead of crafting a measured, count-for-count personal response, I
chose to share her obvious ignorance with members of the Linux Community.
It was meant to illustrate the maddening ignorance and bias a Linux
Advocate faces in a Microsoft Windows world. It was also meant to
digitally spank the hand of the offender. It was a good direction to go I
thought.

Things pretty much turned to fecal flakes from there.
