I believe that Ubuntu is a FREEfree software, and FREEfree here does not mean FREEfree of cost, but FREEDOMfreedom. I have been using Ubuntu since Hardy, and have potentially refrained from using M$ windowsMicrosoft Windows.

Since M$Microsoft windows is a commercial and closedclosed software, I feel that the Ubuntu community should not resort to marketing or indirectly advertising the s/wsoftware or the company manufacturing the s/wsoftware.

In a recent question of mine, iI referred to Windows"Microsoft Windows" as M$ Windows"M$ Windows" and it was edited, thus referring to the name of the company (in fully expanded form) and the s/wsoftware. Since I believed, that the edit was against the FREEfree spirit, I rolled back the edit.

I got a comment from a certain Thomas W. using all "pleases" saying that my "needless" rollbacks can "catch the attention of the mods (moderators?)" and that they could stop me from "editing your own question". This comment is both threatening and dictatorial, thus differing from the free spirit of Ubuntu (well I believe it is free, till now).
