Really? I can't stand how other browsers zoom some things and not others.

That's no excuse. When you teach misinformation it just makes it harder to teach the truth later.
Simplify the explanations if you must, but use the correct terms at least. That way you don't get
a whole bunch of people who think they know what they're talking about but who're actually just
speaking gibberish.

Also, as in this case, a slang term for Linux. I guess because a lot of Linux proponents are or seem to be loonies.

[quote user="Volmarias"]send back a blatantly sarcastic reply[/quote]
Alas, some people just do not get it. I had a friend who seemed IRL to be
a perfectly reasonable person. I made the mistake of giving her my email
address and for the next year I got at least one chain letter per month.
Each time I would respond saying either "This is a scam. Here is an article
that explains why this can't work. Don't send me any more of these, and
don't send them to anybody else either, because it's just a waste of
everyone's time." or "I know you like me, we're friends. You do not need
to send me every chain letter you recieve about friendship. In fact, they
annoy me, so please don't."
Each time she ignored this and sent me another one anyway my replies
became more, shall we say, curt. Eventually I finally got a very upset
response telling me how rude I was and that no one else believed me when
I said that the mails were scams and that I should be glad to recieve
chain letters.
I haven't recieved any mail from her since, but judging by her formerly
demonstrated attention span she'll probably forget about it and start
mailing me again.

Your loss. It was very funny. :-)

Do you have internet access? If so, you're being paid to surf the internet and I want your job.
Port 23 open? If so, you're being paid to MUD and I really, really want your job.
