“He runs the Apple list. Duh.”

If I ran the RINO List, would it be OK for me to pimp McCain or Romney as well? Of course not, you run those lists so you can follow the nefarious actions of said creatures, and to criticize them, and strategize against them. Not FOR them.

Why would someone run an Apple list or even a Microsoft list on FR, unless to criticize their politics?

There are plenty of tech boards out there. FR is not a tech board. It is a political board. A conservative board as well, so I personally find it distasteful to find someone pimping liberal products with such zeal.

I could see an Apple list, whereby we could talk about how Apple or MS should be boycotted for their political stance, but not an Apple thread where you are a HATER or a TROLL if you don’t love them to death.

Heck, the Apple thread, your not even allowed to dissent from them. That is called pimping.

Like I said, its one thing to quietly use a lefty product that you need to out of necessity, it is quite another to pimp it, advertise for it, and then squelch any opposition one may have toward it.

BTW, I would criticize MS or anyone else with just as much zeal if someone were pimping their products on this, my favorite, conservative forum. That is what I come here for, to criticize leftist organizations, not to embrace them and advertise for them. On that note, I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. We have diametrically opposing views.

After reading your post I can understand why some species of animals eat their young. Did you read Jim's memo?
