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
   war}s 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!}.
