Fred - There are four MSFT threads on Si and I scanned them back through December of last year - didn't find any of your postings. All of which leaves me with just the obvious - 1) Two people did respond 2) The remaining people obviously chose to remain uninvolved. --->> Because they felt that adequate response was being given (via you and Mintz)? --->> Because they just didn't want to get involved (in off topic ugliness)? --->> Because they were waiting for you, the offended to go have the schmuck tossed out of SI? --->> Because...(Fill-in rationalization here) << Saying that Windows is an inferior product and that MS would be better split, does not justify antisemitism.>> ...Of course not but that is not what is being discussed here. The issue is why didn't others come to your aid. And my point is that, if you were being unnecessarily provocative, you are much more likely to find people turning a deaf ear. --->> No, that is not a justification, but it is a reality. (And wouldn't the world be a far better place if justice and reality always coincided?). For the record - I am not a Christian and I also believe that the whole MicroSquish windows game is another example of divergence between justice and reality.
