Most fascinating part of that thread for me:
Argh. People, that's a flame, not a troll. I swear, we're completely losing track of our terminology.
I haven't heard the term "flame" used to refer to an insult in aaaaaaages. On the other hand, "troll" which originally meant a specific type of post meant to incite anger seems nowadays to mean any sort of post meant to incite anger, regardless of method.
But I guess I also have some idea now why GNU/Linux distros always seem to include some piece of shit music player in their default software install instead of defaulting to VLC as a media player for everything.
