You make my point for me. Taking a humorous comment seriously and attempting to score points with it.

And Swordmaker unable to accept a victory without crowing to all the world and offering a lecture on the innate superiority of Apple Macs, when all I really stated is that I was wrong on the pricing of Macs vs. other commercial PC's.

It returns us to the original and inescapable conclusion that Mac owners are like the denizens of DU. Arrogant, cultish, and elitist.

See Blue Highway, by continuing the argument ad adsurdum to the conclusion that I admit Apple isn't over priced, they immediately conclude that I have capitulated their innate superiority. I believe the phrase is "Hoisted by their own petards." Arrogant and no sense of humor is a sad way to live. :)

And I suppose you're also joking when you compare Mac users with DU posters? Please.

The only cultist activities occurring in this thread are your and Blue Highway's posts.

I thought we were having a public discussion. The points I made were worth the attention of others. I was not trying to "make points." You, however, have turned back into the opportunity to denigrate all Mac users in general and me in specific.

You said — You make my point for me. Taking a humorous comment seriously and attempting to score points with it.

I’ve heard the “just kidding” excuse before...

I used to know some teenagers who would say (about this or that when doing something wrong or saying something really bad...) — “I was just joking!”

Some kids would pound someone else up with a bat and then say afterwards... “Just kidding!”... LOL...

And, as for me and my post, many times I’ll be laughing at something (just like I put in there... “LOL” above), but that doesn’t mean I’m joking, but that I’m laughing, usually at the idiocy of it, or the irony or the stupidity or the hilariousness of it... :-)
