I didn't sling an accusation, I said "I suspect there could be some small amount of bias". If I were accusing, I would have said "this person is biased.". Despite what you say, I still think the suspicion is valid.

That's fair, although I suspect that your suspicion of bias may be biased due to your usage of C#. :)

  The irony here is that people on HN do judge you if you live mostly in the C#/.NET world, but you're arguing against my suspicion of people who contribute to Mozilla. Do you think it's a far stretch to say that people who actively use open source languages and libraries and contribute to Mozilla projects are much more likely to be biased against anything that Microsoft does?

    You're still leaping to conclusions, you're just trying to justify it behind a veneer of persecution. I'm a Rust contributor and I think C# is a fantastic language; it's my dream to tempt Anders Hejlsberg away to Rust. :P I'm also typing this from a Windows 7 netbook, my sole computer, though I'm looking to upgrade to a Surface once Windows 10 is here. We have several former Microsoft employees in our ranks and one of our core contributors is currently interning at Microsoft. It is possible to be critical without there being a hidden agenda!

      It is possible, just not probable. You're an outlier.
