No, but I do think that generic badmouthing adds nothing to the discussion.

Saying that you think Linux is awful without saying why is just... vacuous. It's pointless complaining.

So it has nothing to do with politeness then?

> awful without saying why

Why would I need to elaborate? You expressed that a lot of people hold it in high regard, I expressed I don't. That was exactly the extent I wanted to address it and I think it's a perfectly reasonable stopping point. I don't need to explain myself about my own impressions. To the extent it was relevant, I played along and that's it.
