Outrageous Comments about Microsoft as Leach on Industry and Society

RE"Kind of like drug dealers. That is what Microsoft is. They are leaches on the industry. The software is a drug that the idiot consumers think is great..."

Unacceptibly Rude and Insulting Comments on this Board:
Beavis, in the interests of even-handedness, I must say that these inflamitory statements of yours are quite deplorable and not up to the standards of this board. By your comments comparing Microsoft's business practices to the feeding habits of leaches, you are giving leaches a bad name. Leaches are one of Gods creatures. As such, they do what comes naturally to them. If you could debate a cognizant leach about its feeding habits, it would respond in all honesty that what it does seems to it to be as right as rain. In the future, I suggest you judge others, not so much by what they do, but by how well they live up to the the light given them. Thank you.
