Driftdiver, I would not want you to be banned from the Apple (or any other) threads, simply because you express a contrary point of view, even in a snarky way.
I -would- ask that you refrain from unnecessarily provocative (trollish) statements that are only intended to piss off or insult the pro-Apple folks. Nobody appreciates that flamebait crap.
But I for one will defend your right to post opposing opinions, if done in a manner that adheres to the posting rules of FreeRepublic as stated by JimRob.
“Driftdiver, I would not want you to be banned from the Apple (or any other) threads,”
Thank you, you’ve been very cordial most of the time even though we have disagreed.
“Nobody appreciates that flamebait crap. “
Oh I agree. The only reason I started doing it was because of the abuse I took when I posted a disagreeing viewpoint. Sure two wrongs don’t make a right but the abuse gets tiresome.
“But I for one will defend your right to post opposing opinions, “
And I you, and no I am NOT giving you a hug.
