Man are you naive.  Human beings are so insecure that they must
constantly justify their choices to themselves and others.  You are no
more likely to find an impartial analysis of FreeBSD vs. Linux than
you are of Ford vs. Chevy, Harley Davidson vs. BMW, or Christianity
vs. Islam.  After making their choice people need to reassure
themselves that they made the right choice by trashing the other
choices.  By putting other people down they build themselves up.
