I'm very prone?  This is in fact, the first time I've EVER called anyone 
a troll.  Look it up on the lists, my posts go back 10+ years and I've 
never called anyone a troll before.  Get your facts straight.

Second, you know NOTHING about the OP other than what was in that first 
post.  We don't know if he ruined Windows or otherwise.  It's possible 
Windows wasn't ruined, it was removed when Ubuntu was installed.  That's 
not ruined that's GONE.

Third, it obviously WAS NOT the simple way out if he was asking us how 
to do 'reload Windows' now was it?  A TROLL he was. One poorly written 
demanding message with no subsequent reply IS a troll.

And fourth.  The problem was us only insomuch as everyone else kept 
hammering at me for recognizing a troll and being a bit of a smart ass. 
  I've already apologized for that, but I'll not apologize for this one.

I'm sick to death of holier-than-thou attitudes from people.  Somehow, 
in the world, an apology became worthless.  I recognized the fact that I 
jumped the gun.  I made it clear that it was wrong and that I was sorry.

But, no more.  If you don't like my attitude, tough.  Get over it.  Grow 
a thicker skin.

I've been here a long time on these lists, helping people, AND being 
helped.  That's what they are here for.  But I'm not here to second 
guess every action I make because someone might be offended.  If I did 
that, I'd never get anything done.

Now.  I consider this thread closed. I'm neither defending my actions 
nor posting anymore on this subject.
