Well, it seems some tool on the linux forum I frequent does not like the quote in my signature.
So he sent me a nasty gram that has an underlying tone of mental instability.
I tried to respond with some helpful thoughts but alas his email address seems to be a fake one, nice.
Send me a nasty gram and then don't even have the "manhood" to allow a reply, very sad indeed.
Well in such a time as this I'll post it up here unedited in hopes he visits so I have the equal opportunity to respond to his thoughts.
Seeing as he was so thoughtful as to point out grammar and formatting errors in my quote I thought it only fair for me to point out he misspelled "browsing" and "eighth".
Enjoy :-)

As I was browing through the forums today, I saw a post by you, and your signature which read: "Windows is good for the mindless drones of the world. Those who are not able to think for themselves, or who don't care to think for themselves." -Muddy
Now, besides this being the most ignorant anti-MS BS i have -ever- heard, it's coming from someone named Muddy. Don't get me wrong, i won't dislike you for using such a name, but I will dislike you for being so blatantly stupid. "don't care to think for themselves" is commonly used, so it belongs in your stupid, uncreative quote.
Quoting yourself is genius, it shows your superiority, especially over those windows users. And when you can stereotype a massive amount of people as well, I applaud. Acting like you're better than people because you use a different OS is not only sad, but pointless. An open source OS like Linux is used to get stuff done, not to be a step higher than those inferior "drones" who might use an Windows to be productive, or to have fun.
I'm also guessing you're a mandrake user, which would put you half a step above a windows user, if I was rating people based on their OS, because a 10 year old could install mandrake. He could also make a quote as bad as yours.
I guess it's a lesson learned, give a 14 year old a computer and he'll use it to quote himself. At least I HOPE you're not older than 14, if you are, you're s-t-u-p-i-d, so don't preach to me about how you're 21, I'll just laugh at you.
Oh, and my FAVORITE part about your idiotic quote is the fact that it doesn't even make sense, which goes along well with my theory that you're 14. If you had passed eigth grade english, you would realize that 'those who don't think for themselves, or don't care to think for themselves' is a FRAGMENT! So your quote truly shows your ignorance.
Next time you decide you want to insult the masses, keep it in your small head, we don't want your superiority complex getting out of hand.
Insulted by your stupid remarks,
Byron a.k.a Amentet
p.s. Check out my quote, it's loosely based on yours.
