If Swordmaker or anyone else throws mud at you, don't throw it back. Sure, it's fun to get all muddy or have a food fight, but what does it accomplish? NOTHING! This is just an internet forum. It's not like your food fight is going to settle anything. It's a total waste of your life. Life is precious, and limited. Trust me on that, I'm an old fart, and I know.

Got it. There's a protected class here.

I guess then Sword and company will stay out of the Android and Windows threads? Or are all other OSes and platforms considered 2nd class citizens?

Hardly. :-) I'm just suggesting that getting into a p!ssing match serves no purpose other than getting wet. And a wiser man stays dry.

All are welcome to contribute useful information and opinions on all threads. None of these are closed "caucuses".

> Or are all other OSes and platforms considered 2nd class citizens?

Again, hardly.

In case you don't know, I run the Windows Ping List. There are more complaints about Windows than MacOS or Android by a factor of 10. Some are snarky comments from Apple or Android fans, sure. But they get told the same thing -- everybody has their favorites, don't waste bandwidth p!ssing on fellow FReepers just because they make a different choice of smartphone. It's ridiculous.

The difference is, on one hand arguing the pros and cons of the product based on published specs and reproducible test data, versus on the other hand troll threads based on some random joker's YouTube video or on some other joker's story about how Windows 10 melted his hard drive or some other joker's story about how a Samsung phone burned his house down and killed his dog...

Seriously, there are better ways to spend one's time.

If you like Androids, great, don't waste time trashing Apple, instead, post some positive heartwarming articles about Androids, and be sure to ping ThunderSleeps, who runs the Android Ping list.
