Wow. This author tried to review Puppy Linux two years ago, but found it
would not work on her hardware, so reported she could not review it:

Since then, she's been repeatedly hounded and stalked by annoyed Puppy
people. Sounds like the Puppy people are even worse at advocating Linux
than the COLA "advocates". I hadn't thought that was possible.

Tim Smith pulled this Usenet boner:

What? One dude acts nuts, and is therefore a valid representative of
"the Puppy people"?

Smith, you're as dingy as that woman. Why the hell is she *still*
clamoring about this "death threat"?

I've had enough of the hatred spewed at me from the Puppy Linux forums
and Puppy Linux users everywhere. I am hounded, week in and week out,
including three comments on DistroWatch this week, about my "refusal" to
run Puppy Linux and my "crazy review". It never stops, it continues in
e-mail and on every Linux forum where I write. Why are the Puppy Linux
community members so obsessed with me? Here is the only reason I can
think of:

She keeps on picking at the scab?

Distro hell! Linux is Linux. Except when it isn't. The funny thing about
clueless idiots like you shilling Puppy because of its cute name is that
few if any of your realise how limited it really is and how use less for
99.999% of users.

WTF are you talking about? Where is she "picking at the scab"? Do you
mean by continuing to write articles?

The WinTrolls are desperate for FUD. Whatever the deal is with this lady
and her "stalker" -- it doesn't change the FACT that Puppy Linux is a
fantastic distribution. And, you'll notice, it just keeps climbing up
the charts at Distrowatch.

Look, Tim, you've been pretty idiotic lately, and I'm ready to plonk your
trolling ass again.

You know as well as anyone how things get bent out of proportion on
Usenet. You don't see me whining in blogs because some flaming asshole
like "Hadron" insults me beyond all bounds propriety, or sends notes to my
wife, or claims they're going to rape my mother, or jam it up my "poop
shoot".

She is the one letting herself get worked up by "Puppy" and a nut or two
that have decided to get on her about it, in much the same way "Hadron"
gets on me about Linux/Microsoft. She is the one who is not making
distinctions between reasonable people and nut-cases, and then continuing
with inflammatory remarks equating these nuts with advocates. She is
continuing the battle herself, after two years!

That you clamber onto this FUD that tars everyone, and carry it here
deliberately, is obvious.
