I'd like to say that I'm sure everyone is sorry you had your problems 
but I can't see how your misplaced anger is of benefit to the Fedora 
community.  I therefore recommend you use Microsoft Windows XP or buy a 
Mac and leave anything more complex - & us - alone.  If I were as nasty 
as you I would suggest that the people you know probably know that you 
are not a credible source of information and prone to attacks of 
unresearched, unsubstantiated, irrelevant & undeserved accusations & 
heresay and therefore your denial of recommendation might actually be a 
good thing for both Redhat and for Fedora.  If you want the benefits of 
a commercial operating system, then buy one.  Otherwise thank you for 
keeping such statements to yourself and thank you for contributing to 
the Fedora community with suggestions or work or bug reports and thank 
you for reading about Fedora before going off half-cocked.  Good luck & 
best wishes to you.
