This paragraph is particularly pithy: "Stop blaming those of us who aren't techies for your inabilities to market a product properly. Stop blaming Windows/Mac for trying to block you from offering open source software. You think that all people should be as computer savvy as you and that's just ludicrous. You perpetuate the stereotype of computer dorks who sit in their dark rooms staring at the little box with lights furiously typing their hatred for the rest of humanity. Your e-mails made all of us laugh hysterically all day long! And to those of you who sent Facebook messages to the woman in our story, calling her names and threatening her, you should be ashamed of yourselves."
