7. Finally, on the “Ignore” suggestion: I do, for the most part. I mean... seriously? Who could keep up with his paid social marketing activities. I don’t get paid to point out he’s a paid social marketer, so it’s not my full time job like it is his. I jump in occasionally to call him out. The fun part is that he COULD ignore me... but he can’t. Why? BECAUSE HE’S A PAID SOCIAL MARKETER! He has to protest being called that to appear legit. But...

LIAR. You haven't even the decency and civility to include me in a comment in which you are denigrating me, asshat. . . as you lie about me more. You've been repeatedly doing that. I have been on this forum for 14 years. . . but only been keeping the Apple Ping list for about 11 of those. You and others lie repeatedly about me and stalk me. You've been told by me and several others but YOU'VE appointed yourself as more important that 700 plus other Freepers who have asked me to keep them informed of things about Apple . . . some are NOW telling you to butt out, but you still won't listen, putting YOUR biased and delusional opinion over theres. You are an unwelcome intruder in these threads whose only purpose is disruption. YOU ARE A SKUNK AT A PICNIC. Listen to what others are telling you and quit acting like an asshat.

Fun part? What makes these threads or even FreeRepublic your personal playground to trash as YOU see fit? What gives you the right to insult fellow Freepers just because it's FUN??? Incivility and rude behavior is what Liberals, DEMOCRATS and juvenile delinquents do.

The owner of FreeRepublic is well aware of these threads so it is not your place to second guess the content of what the owner of FreeRepublic allows. He has in fact personally ZAPPED Apple thread trolls in the past. YOU are not the censor.

> ...YOU ARE A SKUNK AT A PICNIC...

Now, Swordmaker, I was gonna let your comment stand unassisted, but the above... well I just have to jump in.

You see, it happens I like skunks (the striped furry variety).

They're really quite unobtrusive animals, mostly keep to themselves, don't like trouble and avoid it whenever possible... Of course they've got some amazingly potent defense ammunition if they get attacked or feel threatened. I've gotten sprayed a dozen or so times in my life, a couple times at point-blank range.

You see, I was a wildlife rehabilitator for many years, many years ago. Specialized in skunks and other difficult animals. Crawled under many a porch to extract a hurt, scared, pissed-off skunk.

Come to think of it, that experience was a lot like some of these threads.

Just sayin'. Now I'm crawling back into my burrow... :-)
