Sarcasm and making fun of other projects in loco team lists

[Joshua Chase]

Keep in mind, that most people who are "selling" Ubuntu to their friends, co
workers and colleagues are doing so by comparing Ubuntu Linux to Windows in
most cases.

Our very own Bug #1 addresses this

https://launchpad.net/bugs/1

So I think that we need to be role models, but also keep in mind that a lot
of people came to the community to get away from proprietary software, and
most likely the Windows platform. So just try to be understanding before
kicking people out. They are enthused about being part of the community,
like it's been said, we just need to gracefully work on channeling that to
positive.
