Dogmatists, Fanboys, Zealots and other close-minded crap

I love digg, I really do. Feeds me more interesting tidbits than I could possibly surf for myself in a given day, lets me submit whatever I want and has the user base sort it out as to how interesting it is.
Hell, I even like the comment threads... usually.
The exception to this is the relentless "Mac rulez/Windoze drools" and "Linux kicks ass/your platform of choice sux0rz" and "Windows is great/you're stupid" brands of dogma flying around.

For fuckssakes... this is technology, not theology. You don't like a platform? Don't use it!
There is no absolute truth here... there is only the combination of bits that works for you.
You want to take your dogma for a walk? Write a decent article about why you think (that's right, think NOT know) you're right or at least respond intelligently to same.

Well, this will fall on deaf ears and blind eyes, but I've had my rant.

Continue walking the dogma... clearly it needs the exercise.
