Does this have anything to do with the Linux culture?  I'm not a
sociologist so I am not in a position to say.  Since I can find it
everywhere from automotive groups to zebra mussel control discussion
groups.. I would have to guess that it is not.

Perhaps the problem (as pointed out by others including Craig) lies
with your subject (the whole "FC3 sucks" bit tends set off attitude
flags) and general perceived attitude in your message.  If you have
questions, seek help, etc. then ask your questions, request help, and
I am pretty sure someone will be more than happy to assist you with
out you needing to say anything sucks or give the general idea that
you're a hot head, have already given up and just using the list to
vent, etc.

Cheers,
Jeramy

Craig I am relatively new to Linux culture. One
thing I know is that I have *never* seen any post in Windows progarmming
forums/mailing lists/newsgroups that someone calls someone else a *troll* or
something.
 
 Does Linux culture encourage name calling? I say so because I can always
find such words as *troll* *moron* everywhere on *Linux* forums/mailing
list/newsgroups.
    
In my 7 years of Windows progarmming life, I post many more flaming posts to Windows forums/newsgroups. But I never knew such a word as *troll*.

I started learning Linux progarmming about half year ago and would you please use your intelligence and tell me why I first learned the word at a Linux google group when I posted a newbie question about sh? I even did not write such words as 'suck', 'bad'.
