Man, you just reminded me how unapproachable the Linux community is, I guess I’ll stay away from it a bit longer. I’ll come back if/when they mature.

May I suggest if you want to approach a community you don't start with telling them how to talk?

    You've got that barse akwards. They aren't telling you how to talk, they are walking away because of how you talk. You are inadvertently gatekeeping, basically working to help “the suits” you are railing against.

    To jama211 and everyone else: we aren't all like this, honest!

    To globular-toast; this brings to mind the old aphorism:

        Always be yourself.
    Unless you are a bit of a dick, 
    in which case please try to be someone better.
