    I don’t think this conversation has ever been about it being unreasonable for people to talk about, but no, I don’t find it unreasonable. Like I said, I just find the framing of it being about a power differential to be irrelevant for folks finding the topic to be annoying to read about.

      the discussion was actually about it being “more annoying”. (for which we’re still yet to have an answer to btw)

      unable to defend that, next it was about it being “just tiresome” (not “more annoying”).

      now its “the framing of it being about a power differential to be irrelevant” (not “just tiresome”, or “more annoying” either?).

      so the complaint changes, but the one constant is that you just happen to still be right each time (yet can’t provide a consistent reason why).

      in other words, as stated from the outset, no coherent or consistent arguments. just mindless downvoting.

      honestly, it’s disappointing.

        I was and am explaining to you why I down voted your comment. You asked someone who made a very subjective claim about their personal taste to justify their decision and part of your reasoning that they shouldn’t have that subjective opinion was that there’s a power differential between Linux and Microsoft. Just because that is true doesn’t invalidate their opinion about what is annoying to them. It’s like saying “how can you think red is the best color when it’s the color of blood?” It doesn’t matter.
