Consider the source, Colin; Jordon Bedwell is the same 'man' who
questioned Noah Duffy's patriotism for his lack of love for Unity,
basically saying that moving away from Ubuntu equated to disloyalty to
country:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/240529/match=explain+me+again+unity+so+great

Is it such a great leap to understand that he will insult someone for
hardware incompatibility, too?

(Psst, hey, Jordon, some of us still have old Pentium 166s running
RedHat 5.2 on 15 inch CRTs)
