I feel sorry for the schmucks that have to take a class from you! You seem to be very close minded on a topic which you clearly know nothing about.
Had it occurred to you that your particular sysadmin has to go through several offices every day, working on machines with stuff cluttered up all over the place, and still have to fix a machine without touching any of your precious icons?!? This would be similar to a car mechanic trying to fix your vehicle without being able to touch the hood of the car!
Many organizations, including Universities, have specific rules about what types of software can be installed on a system. The system administrator is usually the policeman having to lower the boom on software. Many users install all sorts of garbage on their computers, never heeding the fact that this software may be incompatible in a multitude of ways with the OS, with other software on the system, or with the computer in general.
You, sir, appear to me to be like the users vaguely referred to in the article. You sit on your little thrown believing the computer you use is yours! You preach about his condescending attitude, yet you go right on to say you gave him "tongue lashings"?
Bah! I can't stand to argue with you anymore.
