A bunch of Linux newbies foaming at the mouth and screaming "bloody
lier"[1] isn't going to impress anyone.  There are any number of
articles in today's press detailing solid, serious work being done with
Linux.  Hysterical "advocacy" does nothing to augment this.  Besides
which, if your intention is to communicate then I suggest you learn to
quote in a less confusing style.

[1] This seems to be a common technique used in the hope of gaining
quick acceptance, though a more direct way to broadcast a person's lack
of wit I cannot imagine.
