Glossary Entry: Holy War
Quick Definition
This is a term for arguments that will never end. They often escalate into flame wars*, and are usually things that are a bad idea to talk about seriously.
Common examples include PCs* vs Mac*, PCs* vs Consoles*, EMACS vs vi, and anything to do with religion or politics.
For the curious, EMACS and vi are both text editors and they have something of a rivalry between their respective fans. Personally, I use neither.
