Honey, when swordmaker changes his tagline from a microsoft insult I’ll stop posting on every mac thread.

Driftdiver? How can an inanimate software program be insulted? Where exactly do its feeling reside? Where are its emotions that can express hurt? You are anthrpromorphisizing a piece of software! Did you watch too many cartoons of inanimate objects taking on human charcteristics as a child??? Software cannot be insulted!

Drift, only PERSONS with emotions, egos, and feelings to be hurt, can be insulted, something YOU do on a daily and callous basis. THINGS, constructs, like software, without those qualities, cannot be so hurt. Anything else is projection on your part.

My tagline is a humorous, punning, editorial commentary, not directed toward any person, never intended to hurt anyone's feelings, instead criticizing a commercial product, based on years of experience cleaning up the messes left behind by people being forced to use Internet Explorer with its direct link into the Windows' OS, nothing more.

That being said, since that is the criteria of what it will take to make you stop your insulting activities on Apple threads, then POOF! it's gone. I'm not married to it. It's merely a good pun. I'm holding you to your statement to BunnySlippers. You will now be expected to stop, cold turkey!

Thanks, Swordmaker. I knew you would step up to the plate.

I'm wondering if driftdiver can keep his word. It will be a challenge but will go a long way to bringing a better existance on FR.
