Amiga Persecution Complex: n. The disorder suffered by a
particularly egregious variety of bigot, those who believe that
the marginality of their preferred machine is the result of some
kind of industry-wide conspiracy (for without a conspiracy of some
kind, the eminent superiority of their beloved shining jewel of a
platform would obviously win over all, market pressures be damned!)
Those afflicted are prone to engaging in flame wars and calling
for boycotts and mailbombings. Amiga Persecution Complex is by no
means limited to Amiga users; NeXT, NeWS, OS/2, Macintosh,
LISP, and GNU users are also common victims. Linux users used
to display symptoms very frequently before Linux started winning;
some still do. See also newbie, troll, holy wars, weenie,
Get a life!.
