But aside from that, I've just checked your site, and I like it. You're inspired by Maddox, right? Your site reminds me a lot of maddox.xmission.com.
By the way, speaking of Maddox, that reminds me: the majority of what I write is stupid bullshit (as he likes to call it). So for the last time: don't take it seriously.

I also hate Micro$oft just as much as you guys do, and actually like Linux (well, aside from its qualms). And that's why I've blocked IE, because I'm tired of Microsoft blocking other browsers.

Alright people, ignore this thread as it's just here to get the thread starter attention so move on, it's not worth your time as it's most likely going to get closed very soon once a Moderator of General gets around to it.

Gaaaah! If I wanted attention, would I block IE, which is used by 90% of the world? Pretty much says it all. I'm going to write an article about you guys.

Actually, the first time I saw it was as a song title by Gentle Giant, early 70's.

Well actually, since you don't actually block IE and just redirect to a porn site, I've just notified the Admin of this site to remove all links to your site, including your signature. This is clearly against our rules. If you want to remove these links yourself, I would highly suggest doing so now. If not, we can just ban you from using this site.

Got a problem with our rules, take it up with the administrator.

EliasAlucard, the problem here certainly isn't that you blocked IE...but that you redirect it to a porn site. Linking to porn is for obvious reasons against the rules here at LQ. What was asked of you by the moderators was one of two things - either remove the porn redirect or not link to your site from LQ. I think that's fair. While I can appreciate that you may have written the article in jest, starting a thread with "Why Linux sucks" in the title at a Linux site is asking for a flamefest. The fact that my post will be number forty and Godwin's Law has not been invoked is actually impressive IMHO and indicative of the high quality of the average LQ member. I'm closing this thread for obvious reasons. If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
