Comparing bolobaby to a skunk is insulting to all skunks everywhere. My apologies to the entire species of Musteloidea Mephitidae. They are much nicer than bolobaby. They do act only in self-defense. Way to keep it classy swordmaker. How was your drive into Apple today?

He will ignore the evidence provided and just redirect. That’s why I stopped giving him links as proof. It’s like when you read apple has malware—it’s like it never even happened.

Another Swordmaker LIE that he makes so glibly. This was such an offensive tactic, that the Admin Mod removed Swordmakers post. Easy enough for him to lie about it now, I guess, but he and I both know it happened. My Minions, attack! response is still floating around as some proof that it occurred. No, you are right. In that instance, I did indeed bring the question of your complaints to the entire Ping list. . . because you were hitting me constantly about not even having a large list of people who were interested in Apple on other threads that day. It seemed to be the attack mode of the day for the group of Anti-Apple Hate Brigade members. So, as I recall, I asked the members of the list if they were interested.
That was not why the post was removed, because there was no offensive material in as far as I can recall. I am certain that Dayglored would recall that thread as he is on the Ping list. . . and certainly any offensive comment I may have made would've been comment on by others. It was not. Ergo, it was not there.
YOU somehow got that question deleted by the Admin Moderator because it was certainly NOT an insult to you and it certainly was not a PING for the list to a post of YOURS, although as I recall it did indeed refer to your consistant behavior, with which most were already familiar.
Please note the subsequent attacks from some of his Ping List using some incredibly offensive terms. (Anal bleeding, for example.)
LOL, I thought that one was particularly funny and appropriate due to your rude and offensive behavior.
All right, let's look at all the attacks on you from the members of the Ping list that so "offended" you (you seem to be easily offended by a lot of things). . . and see whether the Freepers in the thread you linked are upset about Apple threads, or YOU.
Supporting Apple threads in green
Opposing posts in in red
Neutral posts, in black.
Attacks on you will be quoted in their entirety in bold.
Although I am going to cite Freepers names in this listing, I am not going to ping them, because I am not addressing them in this post. I really do not want to bring them into this again. . . but they are on on the original thread. Any of you who see this, please pardon me for not following protocol.
Topic of thread is about Apple starting a free repair for defective MacBook Pro screens that had developed problems after warranty had expired and would have been of interest to any MacBook Pro owner. Certainly not something that can be construed as an Apple "advertising" and one that would be of interest to all Freepers with such a laptop, whether they were members of the Apple Ping list or not. Yet bolobaby attempted to hijack the entire thread (by the 14th post) to an attack on me as a "paid social media marketer for Apple," as he always does.

So, before the request for members of the Ping list to chime in on whether they agreed with you or not, there were already EIGHT positive comments on the thread, to your TWO attempts to hijack the thread. Afterwards, only TWO other Apple haters showed up, Utilizer and Exosmagnum (who was such a piece of work as an Apple hater he got himself completely banished from Freerepublic by the boss himself for his misbehavior on Apple threads!) Between them and you, they accounted for a total of 14 more anti-Apple replies. . . out of 62 of which 43 were absolutely positive for the thread and were from 37 distinct individuals.
So, out of 82 posts in the thread, we have a total of 16 negative Trolling comments for a total of THREE apple hating individuals, including YOU. That leaves 52 totally positive of which 45 told you to STAY OUT of Apple Threads.
Only NINE of those can even remotely be considered attacks on you. . . and most of those are extremely mild, compared to the constant barrage of what you have posted against me. Frankly, I don't blame the ones who got more than mild against you. They've had enough of your bilge.
Do you have a problem with getting the message that you are far outnumbered and that you and your constant barrage of noise and hijacking attempts of Apple threads are simply not appreciated nor welcome?

Bottomline is Apple has malware in their official App Store that is impacting real users using their software & hardware. This is very serious and a big blow to their reputation. Yes, but the question is WHICH app store, where. . . and how much is actually there. . .
Trying to attack me because I said macbot and idummy (or whatever I called it) as if thats the most disgusting thing one could call a person. Get a grip. Thats like me getting upset over someone saying Micro$oft or Windoze or windblows. OMG....they just insulted me.
How in the world can YOU be insulted by Micro$oft, Windoze, or Winblows?They do not refer to human beings or any animate person.
Does the difference really escape you? Let me educate you. "MacBot," "Apple Cultists," "iDiots," and "iDummy" refers to the users of Apple Macs or iOS users. PEOPLE who have real feelings. That is who you are insulting. People are not fair targets for derogatory insulting names. Using such insults against the minority product users, as the user of the majority product, makes you a rude bigot.
"Micro$soft", refers to a company, while Windoze" and "Windblows" are referring to an inanimate PRODUCT none of which have feelings and cannot be insulted. They are fair game for amusing derogatory names.
Think about it. . . are there any such slurs and insults that target Windows users? Do you hear any Apple users tossing around names such as "WinBots", "PCDummy", or anything at all that is all derogatory because of their choice of computer platform? You hear people deriding the company, or the OS, or other software, but not the people who use it. . . mostly we feel for the sufferers who have to put up with the problems the platform presents them with. . . but we don't deride the users.
YOU are not your computer. . . but you are the user of that machine. When ever you say MacBot, Cultists, iDiots, iDummy, or even fanboy you are attacking the user for his intelligence and opinion for choosing Macs, his ability to use a computer, etc. That is the personal psychological loading on those epithets. For example:
Apple fanboys: People too stupid to work with technology, and are also bad investors. Someone who is enamoured by a shiney device; someone that lets another with a PC get the job done (or secretely installs Windows 7 on their device and pretends they are still using a Mac); a person that is paranoid about their personal image, and is extremely uncomfortable without a logo or some branded merchandise around them; a person who is a sucker enough to completely overpay for overpriced hardware using industrial design as an excuse, and then suffer the device for years, long after it's completely obsolete, simply because they paid so much.
Yes, that is a published definition of an Apple Fanboy.
There is no personal psychological loading on Micro$oft, MicroShaft, WindDoze, WinBlows, and the other epithets for the company or products except a learned and often shared disgust for what users have EXPERIENCED using those products or at the hands of the company.
The Urban Dictionary defines
Micro$oft as: A derogotitory term for Microsoft's EVIL practices of EARNING MONEY!Microshaft as: Buying a Microsoft product and getting the "shaft"
Windoze as: Derogatory internet slang for Microsoft Windows.
Winblows as: A play on words. Used by people who don't like the Windows operating sysytem.
Not a single one of those references targeting a person, for-q-clinton, unless you are Microsoft or Windows, how can you be insulted?

Guess where swordmaker lives? Hint: Its within commuting distance to Apples HQ. That's quite a stretch, even for you, for-q-clinton.
It's within commuting distance only if one is a masochistic commuter. It's a four and a half hour round trip, door to door assuming no traffic delays. Sorry, I'm 67 years old and I don't have that kind of stamina for driving in traffic any more.

Way to keep it classy swordmaker. How was your drive into Apple today? No, Dayglored was right. Skunks are much too nice to compare them to Anti-Apple hate Brigade thread trolls. Such trolls are more akin to Treponema pallidum at a toga party. That's a much more appropriate analogy than skunks. . .

No the question isnt which app store. Are you saying non-US customers are less important to Apple?Yes, for the purposes of FreeRepublic members and the risks they will be facing from this exploit and whether they need to worry when downloading an app from the US Apple App Store, they are, for-q-clinton. It is called CURATION of the news that is important to the clientele who need it. . . not just throwing everything at them with no explanation of WHY or WHY NOT it matters.
Exactly how many Chinese Apple App Store customers are going to be reading FreeRepublic do you think there are???? For them, it is vitally important. For members of the FR Apple Ping List, there was ONE single App, WeChat, which I reported on the very first post on this subject over a week ago, they needed to be concerned about. ONE!
I am not going to cry havoc over an issue 12,500 miles away on an App store that no one in this country can even buy from. . . until it becomes an issue to worry about.
You, and bolobaby and the other Apple Hate Brigade members, on the other hand, salivate over anything that blemishes Apple, no matter how small or unimportant to users here.

Nice work. Why thank you. . . now pay attention to what you are being told repeatedly by the users of these threads. You are not appreciated, wanted, and you are making an ass out of yourself. . . or you already were one. Stop now and prevent any more people from realizing what you are. I would think you'd get a clue after being told by dozens of Freepers in multiple threads to butt out.
If you don't it make you look as if your claims that I am a paid marketer a mere projection of what you BOTH in reality are. Have a good night.

Holy crap. Look at how delusional his last post is. On a thread *where he admits pinging his ENTIRE list to come attack me*, he tries to point out that - *gasp* - more people come on the thread to... ATTACK ME! Surprise! Who would’ve thunk?
Now for some general untruths related to this exchange:
1. I had nothing to do with his call to attack being deleted. Obviously someone else thought he crossed the line and either reported him to the Admin Mods, or they stepped in themselves.
2. He claims post #24 was one of mine that was deleted. Really? Post #24 was an attack by one of his minions that was offensive enough that the Admin Mods removed the post independently. Similarly, I believe posts 37 and 44 were the same - ultra offensive attacks at me. In fact, you can see in post 31 that I abandon the thread. If you doubt this, why are there no responses to 24, 37, and 44? Wouldn’t someone have said something to me? Every other post of mine generated multiple responses.
3. *He calls #26 a “paranoid assumption” - yet he ADMITS to calling in his ping list???
Now, it *is* true that I dropped in on the thread to point out what Swordmaker denied in a prior thread, that’s he’s not a one trick pony, only posting about Apple. I went back something like 5 pages and it was all Apple posts, all the time. That was my point of being there in the first place. I just joined the last of 5 pages of Apple posts to point out he lied about that.
So, look man, I’ll stop pinging you on this. I only kept you in the loop because Swordmaker was putting you back on the thread. You probably could care less, so I’ll spare you any more, even if Swordmaker keeps trying to pull you back in.
The bottom line is to watch out for this guy. He’s a pathological liar. It’s actually quite easy to catch him in lies. Even in this post, for example, he contradicts himself. “OK, I did sic my Ping List on you” vs Bolobaby has a “paranoid assumption that Swordmaker has ordered the Ping list members to attack.” Incredible, right? Maybe he’s social marketing on multiple sites and having trouble remembering which persona to adopt even in the middle of a post. I dunno, but he is vehement in his defense because it hurts his business to get called out. He can’t afford to lose credibility as a paid social marketer, so he doesn’t drop it. If someone came on a thread and said, “Bolobaby, you are a paid social marketer for Android,” I’d say, “Yeah, OK, whatever,” and probably just drop it. Swordmaker is unable to drop the topic whether it comes from me or someone else because it directly contradicts what he does.
And, lest I become like Swordmaker and become overly obsessed, I’ll probably drop this whole thing for a couple of months until I get the itch to call out the advertiser in our midst again. (But don’t worry - Swordmaker will market for Apple non-stop in the meantime.)

(But dont worry - Swordmaker will market for Apple non-stop in the meantime.) You just won't stop. . . you didn't listen to the chorus of Apple users on that thread, which was the whole purpose of that exercise, telling you that you simply are a boor, a bore, and not WANTED in Apple thread, but I am and what I do is appreciated, yet you refuse to get the message. You got exactly two backers, one of which got himself banished permanently from FR for being a similar boor on Apple threads just a few months later. Good reference, bolobaby!
You've been told NUMEROUS times that I am not a social marketer for Apple, not just by me, but others, when you have absolutely ZERO proof of anything, but you will NOT give up your Quixotic tilting at your damned Windmill! You grasp at straws such as that I live somewhere around 135 miles from Apple HQ as somehow being proof I work for Apple. Good Grief, you are completely delusional.
I am providing a service on here for my fellow Freepers. YOU are not. You just have a hobby horse you ride. You are the insane, obsessive weirdo around these threads. Get it through your thick skull you are not pleasing anyone except your self. . . and getting a lot of people pissed at you in the process.
Go back and RE-READ the thread where you were told off by the other Freepers on the thread. You'll find there are less attacks on you but more DISGUST with you and your abominable behavior!
GROW THE HELL UP AND ACT LIKE AN ADULT AND NOT A SPOILED BRAT!
