  Amiga Persecution Complex n. The disorder suffered by a particularly
     egregious variety of bigot, those who believe that the marginality of
     their preferred machine is the result of some kind of industry-wide
     conspiracy (for without a conspiracy of some kind, the eminent
     superiority of their beloved shining jewel of a platform would obviously
     win over all, market pressures be damned!) Those afflicted are prone to
     engaging in flame wars and calling for boycotts and mailbombings.
     Amiga Persecution Complex is by no means limited to Amiga users; NeXT,
     NeWS, OS/2, Macintosh, LISP, and GNU users are also common
     victims. Linux users used to display symptoms very frequently before
     Linux started winning; some still do. See also newbie, troll, holy
     wars, weenie, Get a life!.
