It's also quite weird to see schestowitz's comments on upcoming stories get buried fast regardless how informative or on-topic they are (not saying all are).Seems like the Digg system could be improved quite a lot; this seems to be one of the problems.

Exactly. Most IBM mainframes run Linux!

As a Linux/Mac user, I wouldn't mind a job making baseless accusations etc. about Linux/mac. It would be fun to spew s**t for a couple of months.

If there were any other OS that could fill my needs better than Windows, I'd switch. I don't hate Linux, nor do I hate Macs. For those people whose needs they fill better than Windows can, they're fantastic alternatives, and I'm glad they're around if for no other reason than to push innovation in all the competitors. But if you think that Windows is necessarily inferior for every single person, or that any of the three can fill everybody's needs equally, YOU are on crack.

qwuinc, there are 3 or 4 people at the moment who mod all my comments down systematically (and bury my submissions too, I suspect). They are not Diggers. They came after me from other forums where they even admitted doing this. I have complained to Digg about this. One of them has already had 3 or 4 accounts terminated, but he keeps creating new ones.It's chaotic, but if I leave Digg, they'll get their way. Due to their slander, some people think I'm a troll. Look elsewhere for evidence, preferably in moderated forums that cannot be abused and gamed.
