What about "Elitist Hate"? Isn't that unwanted too?
It sounds a bit like Mao's Cultural Revolution when they forced all
intellectuals to work on the fields.
You *need* intellectuals. If you force all of them to move to Debian or
FreeBSD, who is going to help the newbs?
In my not so humble opinion elitism is just as bad as anti-intellectualism.

And what about the separation between the technical list and the general
discussion list? Am I an elitist if I mention that? The technical list is
not your personal playground to lecture people about supposed elitism. If
you have complaints about people on ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com, you
don't voice them on ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com. You go to
sounder at lists.ubuntu.com
