The real trolls (Score 4)

Whereas this AC started attacking trolls, he has quickly become what he is accusing... The original poster never suggested X is inferior to Win 3.11. What he said, which is very true, is that the configuration of monitors under X is inferior to Windows configuration.

Personally, I've never had any trouble getting a system working with X (although the monitor may not have been configured as optimally as I'd have liked). But I did think to myself while looking up scan rates that there has got to be a better way. And I think the volume of posters that agree with this issue would underscore the fact this is a real problem, not some phantom issue being raised to suggest "X is inferior to Win 3.11."

My suggestion to people that think like this: Get off your high horse! The original poster was making an honest observation about the quality of X configuration. If we attack posts where people come forward and ask "Why does it have to be this way?", others will be afraid to come forward and point out areas where we can improve. We need to be strong enough to recognize that Linux and its associated applications and tools are not the end-all be-all they can be, and be willing to take this as constructive criticism that points out where we need to start working on improvements.
