*Sigh*

First, my comment wasn't a rant. But I guess that distinction is lost here.

Secondly, what does this have to do with "anti-Linux FUD" from Sun? This article is about someone's personal opinion, not an official statement from Sun. It was in some guy's blog. Seriously.

No, I was not trying to be obtuse. I was paraphrasing. Comments like the two you quoted, as well as:

Just a window into the unbelievable arrogance of Sun (or at least some at Sun). If they don't wise up soon, they will be gone.

and

Oh I see now how Sun is going to trash Linux.

are pretty much just mindless Sun-bashing, most likely by people who didn't bother reading the blog entry. neoprene's comment is also an example of this, although slightly less so -- it reeks with open-source, Linux arrogance, insuinating that Solaris' codebase is of no use. I'm just tired of the GPL elitism on what is supposed to be a technical news site.

Okay, I'm not really sensitive to trolling, and I hate to depict people as trolls, but this leaves me no other conclusion: you are a troll.

Pity.

Thanks for proving my point - that on LWN (just like on Slashdot or OSNews) anyone who doesn't
buy the party line that "Linux rules and Solaris sucks" is branded as a troll.

Cajal,

You should be proud of being called a troll by the real troll (the worse kind) :)
