I recognise the writing style of that guy (and a few others there) That one used to post of the Australis threads, if I get time later I'll find his stuff.
Finally, for a sense of perspective, please do try and remember that many of those guys are less than 14 years old. In real life, would you really spend much/any of your time arguing with a child?

Yes, many are, but not all and it's a safe bet that Matt falls into the 'not all' category. Nice use of matching the smilie with the photo there, I thought.

.... "at Mozilla Forums" .... "diehard Australis fans" .... The paranoia runs deep. Break out of your personal bubbles PaleMooners. None of us here is a Mozilla plant or apologist, and the vast majority of the regulars on this forum are upset about Australis, if only for the fact that it's been the most inflammatory troll-bait ever invented. PaleMoon 25 appears to have been created specifically to feed into anti-Australis rage and stoke a fire that should be mostly extinguished by now.
And for those of you uninitiated lurkers, you should know that almost everyone involved in this thread were actively attempting to promote wider conversations and community dissidence about Australis for years before Firefox 29 (when there was still time to do something about changing the course), and have since then contributed to FAQs and software solutions for frustrated users. FOUR YEARS of discussion about Australis on this forum, and 8 months after it's final release pretty much everyone is sick of hearing about it. You are woefully late to a party that pretty much everyone has already stumbled away from and you are trying to pretend like it's still going. Just move on.

My guess is Anti Australis is the only marketing tool they have left. Certainly they cannot use speed (if they ever could) and now the Firefox 64bit builds are going to become mainstream they have lost that niche. It was all so unnecessary if the pm fanboys had just STFU and remained home this thread and the others that have been locked would not have happened end of story. We actually have a long history of third party builds here and I cannot remember one case where the users of them trolled the forum and made a complete arse of themselves indeed one third party builder used to be a Moderator here. I cant help thinking the fanboys did more real harm than good to the pm cause. We do get a fair traffic here and are not afraid to say what we think plus we are known for being tech savvy.

Hmm Moonchild claims mozillaZine forums is just a small insignificant forum now, compared to what his own ahem... forum.
We had no real issues with Pale Moon and its users before as we even used recommended it as one of the alternatives to Firefox over the years. When the Australis came about the PM fan boys came out in force even more and thought it was a bright idea to go about hijacking threads with any mention of Australis (especially during Fx 29.0 Release period) along with their already hijacking of threads mentioning 64-bit or Win64 to suggest to OP and other posters in thread to basically dump Firefox and use PaleMoon instead to avoid Australis or to use a Win64 Firefox. These PM fan boys doing this then could not understand why the mZ regulars got annoyed at them for doing that as they though it was a perfectly fine thing to come here and do. Thanks to these PM fan boys, we have stopped recommending Pale Moon as a alternative and if any PM user comes here trying to sell PM instead of just asking for help, we tell them to get lost and go back to the insignificant Pale Moon forum that few know about compared to mozillaZine.
