  2. Calling KDE bloated is NOT trolling MR. Moderator. by zymano · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    X and KDE consume way too much memory.

    Why is his statement trolling ?

    Isn't trolling looking to create flames and stupid statements? So.....why is his statement a troll Mr. Moderator ?

    I have an old computer and KDE slows it to a crawl.

    Does anyone remember all the comments on this website about monopoly's win95 being SLOW and Bloated . Well ???? Do you ????

    If I find the moderator that called this post a troll he will be META-moderated and hopefully moderation duties taken away.
