Mar 20, 2011 at 23:06 comment added Zeke Hansell @geek, I like your use of the big word "sophistry" to make my comment sound trivial and irrelevant. I guess the civil rights movement was wrong for engaging in "anti-social" behavior.

Mar 19, 2011 at 21:40 comment added geekosaur @Zeke: Let's put it this way: if you walk into a Windows user group meeting and ask your question that way, what do you think would happen? Just because it's online and nobody can deck you in person doesn't mean it's okay to use inflammatory rhetoric. And I can't hep but think you're engaging in sophistry to justify anti-social behavior in the above comments; communities do have standards, and you shouldn't expect them to adapt to your preferences just because they're online.

Mar 19, 2011 at 21:25 comment added Zeke Hansell If there was not a problem with the question, then politely asking the person to rephrase the question would be in order. Just closing the question without directly contacting the questioner seems to be an abuse of power.
