I am relatively new to Linux culture. One thing I know is that I have 
*never* seen any post in Windows progarmming forums/mailing 
lists/newsgroups that someone calls someone else a *troll* or something.

Does Linux culture encourage name calling? I say so because I can always 
find such words as *troll* *moron* everywhere on *Linux* forums/mailing 
list/newsgroups.
