Yes, it is! If I cannot use humor in my day to day life I would go crazy.
Windoze is just a term I find kinda cute. I don't agree with bashing any
platform (unless there is a real good reason like a major bug on some
version or something) and haven't ever done it on this list. I don't
believe the term Windoze is that derogatory and I do believe you are
being overly sensitive about this. Like I said, it's just a term that I
find cute. If we were to de-personalize everything then you might as well
talk to automated server responses.
Let me reiterate: I did not bash any OS.
This list is here so we can help each other and I greatly appreciate it.
Let's not be so nit-picky about everyting we say, let's just read the
useful information and get on with our lives. If I stopped to berate
everyone who used terms like "f$@&cking Apple" or whatever, I would spend
all my time writing to this list. I don't agree with language like that
on this list but sometimes I feel that way too! And I am a fervent Mac
user (as might be evident).
Anyway, don't be so sensitive about little things like that...
