That is not the definition of Münchausen Syndrome. . . or at least it's a very narrow self-serving definition. Here's a much more complete definition.
Munchausen syndrome is a psychiatric factitious disorder wherein those affected feign disease, illness, or psychological trauma to draw attention, sympathy, or reassurance to themselves. It is also sometimes known as hospital addiction syndrome, thick chart syndrome, or hospital hopper syndrome. True Munchausen syndrome fits within the subclass of factitious disorder with predominantly physical signs and symptoms, but they also have a history of recurrent hospitalization, travelling, and dramatic, untrue, and extremely improbable tales of their past experiences.Munchausen syndrome is a psychiatric factitious disorder wherein those affected feign disease, illness, or psychological trauma to draw attention, sympathy, or reassurance to themselves.

My use of Münchausens had to do with what the anti-Apple hater Brigade doing was being "Factitious". . . of using "factoids" of their own or other's creation.
Something tells me you have been accused of Munchausens in your real life. Would I be right?
What is it with you people??? You are almost worse than Socialists. I have suspected that you anti-Apple hate Brigade have been using Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, specifically rules 5 and 12 in these Apple threads, targeting me.
- RULE 5: Ridicule is mans most potent weapon. There is no defense. Its irrational. Its infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
- RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
Now you again invade the area of ad hominem attack on me. . . again literally attacking me with the accusation of mental illness. How reprehensible can you get? I'd say that's pretty reprehensible. . . couched in a question that leaves a doubt in other readers' minds. What a coward you are. . . and you are a really nasty piece of work. You are sick.
Every single one of you does this. It appears to be deliberate and organized. . . and often the exact same tactics and even wording is used. I've been ridiculed and accused of being mentally ill, or off my meds, or needing medication by THREE of you today. . . all for calling you on your rude behavior.
There’s that obsessive behavior of yours again.
BTW...how many times are you gonna ping your enforcment posse?
You notice they arent showing up?
