In fact, I accept the fact that you prefer double clicking. And that's a 
matter of taste (not a matter of being used to windows or not). I prefer 
double clicking. I didn't say "I'm used to double clicking because of windows 
and so I want it on kde".

My problem is that your answers are stupid and violents:

"Because it is better" is not an answer, it's a troll. All your other answers 
are in the same style. I admit you can have opinions but you should consider 
the fact that other people also have their own opinions.

Just answering "I think simple clicking is more convenient" would have been 
an acceptable answer.

Thanks anyway for answering.
