''Sidney'' aka ''Tom Newton'' aka ''Alan Connor'' aka a string of

that he

Exactly. In reality, he probably doesn't care, and he unlikely
practices what he preaches either. What better way to try and incite
arguments, than claiming all Linux users should only operate in the
CLI. Ironically, this is where I spend 14+ hours each day, due to
server related tasks, yet he blasts me if I mention I happen to use KDE
as my primary interface for online related activity (email, usenet,
web, etc.)... and he tries to support this attitude by posting a random
(and usually irrelevant) piece of bash script or a command line, which
any non Linux user/non CLI user would encounter and understand in the
first few hours of using CLI on Linux. I agree, it's ironic and kind
of funny.
