Linux Hater’s Redux... dead? Long live... Oiaohm?! E-mail

Like I said, I had no intention of writing anything about Linux today, and I certainly didn’t think I’d be guiltily pleasurably poking fun at my Linux loving nemesis, the terrifically terrifying yet tiresome Telic.

But I noticed a new comment at my Linux Hater’s Redux article from the mysterious “oiaohm”, saying Linux “Hater's Redux is dead. Running my own take on all OS's. More open talks.”

Mr Oiaohm then posted a link to his blog, called the “Oiaohm Battle Ground”.

So I decided to take a look, and his welcome states:

“This is my battle ground. So far Linux Hater and Linux Hater's Redux has left the building. At least Linux Hater has been good enough to leave the building with a final message.

“I am not like either. I am not exactly out to make Linux look bad alone. If Linux is defective in an area lets go for it. If any other OS is defective in a area same thing lets go for it.

“I do follow Linux a lot so some things here will be my predictions on the technology coming to Linux and its short term effects. None of these predictions normally be longer than 12 months.

“There will be no room for freetard or wintard or any other tard arguments. If something is a myth and I or anyone else here says bust it.

“One word of warning in advance. Windows Vista and before don't dare say its secure. Simple fact its not. This is where Linux Hater's Redux hit the wall.

“I will do from time to time how computer secuirty (sic) should work. Now if any OS or Distrobution (sic) out there is claiming to be secure when its not bring it on. For fun from time to time I will bring up Myths of IT. These will be Tard arguments or incompetent reporters.

“Lets have some fun.

“Luser and other abusive term used without facts supporting you will see your post deleted. This is the first and only warning. If you are not sure don't use abusive terms.”

The mysterious Mr Oiaohm then follows up with a second post called “Myth of IT 1: Market Share explains Virus Numbers”. Presumably there is much more to come.

Also, if this page from a Google search is to be believed, "Oiaohm" could be someone by the name of Peter Dolding. I've never heard of him, but take of that what you will.

So, is the Linux Hater’s Redux dead, or ready to re-invigorate itself with a new blast of “Rants and Laughs”?
