 Imagine my surprise when I went looking for Comic Sans MS for Linux and I came upon this web page that was dedicated to banning Comic Sans MS from the Internet.  That's like banning mirth from comedy.  There was even a site that claimed that Comic Sans MS was used by child molesters, therefore, it was bad.  Had this person ever heard the term guilt by association?  Or the ad hominem fallacy?  Obviously this person is an idiot like you know who.
