Seriously? Do you not understand what a plugin is? Takes about 30 seconds to install one time and you're done. But no, you'd rather spend that 30 seconds reply

Seriously? Do you not understand what a plugin is? Takes about 30 seconds to install one time and you're done. But no, you'd rather spend that 30 seconds replying with your complaint. That's because you're a hater. Once you realize that and fix it, life won't be so difficult anymore and you won't be annoying other people with your petty and off-topic complaints.

Given his comment it's a good bet he's running Linux. There is no Silverlight for Linux so his complaint is pretty legitimate .

  And complaining about complaining is also kind of hilariously self-unaware.

    Except there is a plugin for Linux. It's called Moonlight. Why wouldn't you just install that? It worked fine for me on my Linux box as well as on OS X. Also there's a difference between complaining just because you hate Microsoft and calling out a hater.

      You know what? You're right, and I apologize. You have a fair point. What made me react the way I did was the tone of your reply. I understand now that you were responding with a real and constructive solution, but the hate it was couched in made me read it as hate responding to hate. I guess my question is: if you really believe he's just a hater, why respond at all? Do you imagine you'll change his position or behavior?

        Oh, sorry I didn't see that you were not the original commenter. None of this was directed at you. My original response was in proportion to the original comment. I think that responding in the way that I did does change behavior. Kind of like when you fight back with a bully, you make it not worth their time even if you get beat up. It doesn't always work, but a lot of the time it does.

  Yes there is. It's called Moonlight. I went there in Linux Chrome AND Firefox with Moonlight installed and watched the video fine.
