You can say that if you like but maybe you should try the real world and see 
who does get blamed for things like that.

Note that I did not say the blame was entirely warranted but that makes no 
difference to the user.
BTW calling them stupid and thick isn't going to help them think Linux is 
OK.. its just going to make them think all Linux users are like Peter and 
that will be more black marks.

Lets face facts.. if you want Linux to be as successful as windows on the 
desktop you are going to have to deal with thick users. You can't get far 
unless you do.
