I certainly have zero liking for the endless apple spam from these two, but I nailed Swordmaker for deliberately mangling my screen name back when and he apologized.
No reason to ridicule him. He has enough trouble with this.
Thanks for the support, doorgunner69. I honestly do not recall deliberately misusing your name. I may have shortened it but I cannot even think of a disparaging way of using your name. Thanks. I do sometimes refer to 867V309 just as "86" in my references to him, just as I might refer to Star Traveler as "Star."
867V309 has mischaracterized my interest in Apple in almost every post on Apple threads where he "participates," if you can call his presence in Apple threads participation. I call him on his mis-information and smearing tactics he uses against Apple users. . . just as you've called him on his "Swordswallower" insult he attached to me in this post without having the decency to ping me before that insulting comment. I did indeed post this thread to the PING list as soon as I learned of it, not through any cowardice as some on this thread are claiming, but through my normal practice of posting both good and bad about Apple.
As it happens I was driving from about 7:45PM last night until after 1AM. . . and did not even look at FreeRepublic until very late in the morning today. . . and find that I am being excoriated as a coward for not posting in a timely manner by the Apple-Hate Mongering brigade for something i usually get excoriated by the Apple-Hate brigade for doing at all. With the Apple-Haters you cannot win, no matter what one does.
