I can see how neutral you are, by blatantly lying and presenting your lies as
"THE truth".
When, in fact, anyone can check for themselves and see that it's all lies.

ANY, I repeat, ANY dialog in Windows has the accelerators active without Alt.
You would know that, had you used Windows without the Linux key bindings firmly
entrenched in your brain. Just like any other Windows user who never had Linux
experience.

So, yes, you are on a personal crusade. And you're even lying about that!

I'm sorry that I can't be calm, when you've got a fanatic here, lying
throughout the thread just to make his personal preference a fact. I'd hate to
see such a behaviour rewarded or encouraged. Even worse, he's got a
@libreoffice.org mail, which means he's working for TDF in some form. From the
behaviour I've witnessed in this thread, he really should not.
This is nobody's personal playground, nor is it a "Linux" playground. Treat
users of all OSs with respect.
