In defense of... Long time Apple users frequently encounter questions like: "How do I make the close button appear on the right?" "How do I make the application close when I close the window?" "How do I make the window fill the screen when I click the plus." These questions are like buckshot on Mac forums. They're posted every day, despite the fact that there are readily available (by searching) answers, or good philosophical reasons why "it doesn't work that way" on a Mac. I'm not saying that you asked one of those questions, but there are many similar, but more complex, questions that evoke the same reaction. Many Mac users like they way OS X works, and wouldn't want it to work more like Windows/GNOME/KDE/etc. This results in a hostile reaction when users come along suggesting the like. This doesn't justify a hostile attitude, but it does explain where it comes from.
