I don't think that at all. I realized that you are new to the scene and 
probably have a lot of questions. Anyway, I believe people should have the 
freedom to choose- including proprietary software, although I may try to 
dissuade them.

Like any comunity- there are all types. People are defensive sometimes because 
there are a lot of "MS-trolls" floating around in Linux mailinglist and news 
groups with no other purpose then to bash Linux. Visit comp.os.linux.advocacy 
sometime and you will know what I mean.
