Saying "I use GNU/Linux": OK. Saying "I don't use Linux and am going to distort your poll results because you didn't use the terminology I prefer": not OK.
And, honestly, if getting a few downvotes for some random thing is "setting a new low bar" then something's wrong with your calibration.

In addition to hacker news users hating the FSF, we apparently are also immune to sarcasm and humor. Second, I'm sorry, I didn't know that polls on Hacker News were so serious and scientific. Do you police rules like "pick only one" with words like, "Come on guys! I'm trying to run a scientific poll here and you're ruining it!"? Please.
