I think the most crappy aspect of Linux is the number of trolls its

Not to mention the hipcrime-type spew.

Scream at your news provider - some of them have their heads out of
their a$$es and know that if they don't control that crap, they are
going to loose customers.

I can't help but wonder if it is an effort to scare newbies away,
since a lot of linux end user support has traditionally come from
usenet groups like this.

Apparently it's some l00ser who can't accept the fact that everyone
in the world (or at least in some newsgroups) doesn't believe he's the
greatest, wittiest, and most brilliant person on the planet. It's the
same problem as the l00ser who trashed sci.crypt after his brilliant
crypto idea was laughed at.
