I mean, you're telling a person with both professional and academic credentials in Computer Science (myself) that I am not an expert on computers.

An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less. You seem to have been educated beyond your means.

You're also telling everyone that you, with your shiny economics degree, know more about malware than one of the world's foremost computer security companies.

Would a computer security company have any reason to spread FUD? Would it perhaps scare some folks into buying their products? Are they smarter than the millions of us who run naked on a Mac with no bad consequences? As SM said, OSX warns us before we open a suspicious package.

I won't lie and I say I really took you seriously before, but you may (or may not, as it is) realize that the way you act and what you say is a very good way to be laughed off the stage yourself.

Are you familiar with projection? It is probably not taught in computer science class but it is taught in the behavior sciences. SM warned you to stop digging but you persist. My advice is that you avoid these threads in the future. SM handed you your hat but you still insist on displaying your shiny pate.

Your name is certainly fitting. That much is for sure.

I generally do avoid the Mac circle jerk threads, by the way, because I lose faith in humanity when I do enter them. I make an argument supported by facts and I get insulted and told I’m wrong. Reality doesn’t sit well with you folks. That’s all well and good. Attacking me and ignoring the stark reality of the matter doesn’t change it and no amount of bootlicking is going to change that.

By the way, there has only been one civil response to me in this forum from a Mac person. That person remains, in the nearly five years since I’ve joined, the only individual I believe is actually educated about operating systems that participates in these threads. Sadly, everyone else basically remains a complete jackass.

I’ve never been accused of beating around the bush.
