"Freetard"? What are you twelve? A corporate troll or a Windows user? I will be so happy when this "*-tard" meme goes away, it is truly irksome.

- tvon 16y agoI think Fake Steve Jobs coined the term... and it doesn't sound any worse than "fanboy" to me.
- defroost 16y agoReally? A play on the politically-incorrect, downright offense word "retard", doesn't sound worse than "fanboy"? Wow, I guess it is all about perspective.
- cmsj 16y agoYou are entitled to be offended, but the term has never really been more than a darkly affectionate moniker - Dan Lyons (fake Steve jobs) is a big fan of FOSS, as am I :)
- stuhacking 16y agoFreetard, iFag, luser, Microdroid, B1ff, Pointy haired, Marketroid. The 'us and them' mentality exists across many boundaries and I don't think it's going away any time soon. Most just learn to ignore it because whatever you decide is good, someone, somewhere, disagrees with you.
- cmsj 16y agoI am a long term FOSS user and contributor, so I am 'us' here :)
