Quoting: scaineReddit's way worse in the hate subs, but if you're in a "normal" sub, like /r/linux_gaming, it's positively civil compared to the cesspool of ignorance and bigotry that is Steam. We all like a good argument, but the problem with Steam is that the forum admins are emotionally invested in the topics that they moderate.

I'm sure GoL covered a guy... Lapatop69 or something like that... who closed any thread that mentioned Linux with an arbitrary "You should be using Windows, it's better" comment. I'm reasonably certain that if you looked up the word "bigot" in a dictionary, there was a link to this guy's steam profile. Pretty infuriating.

[Edit: Dude's handle was "Laptop65" and he was the moderator for Mad Max.]
Someday I commented on a post in /r/linux_gaming about emulators, one guy said that emulators runs exactly same on Windows and Linux considering the CPU side, and I said that isn't 100% true at least with AMD CPU (this based on my experience), and received a lot of downvotes and sarcasm.
