Ya know its sad. Stripes1776 posts fake numbers grossly understating Nokia’s market share and sales while overstating Apples market share. I use an example to illustrate how off his numbers are and yet I get personally attacked.

Then “I am the one causing problems”, and I am the one spreading nonsense. Is there a single ounce of honesty or integrity in people anymore?

Not when they can make up words that you never posted, and then rail against you for their flights of fancy...

Stripes1776 posted a hypothetical question, a perfectly legitimate debating technique: which would you rather have: X or Y?

His post mentioned nothing about Nokia. YOU made it into a specific about Nokia, a Logical Fallacy, and distorted the figures, not Stripes1776.

I merely corrected your figures so that your attempt to make Nokia's profit picture look better—which was what this thread was about—was correct to fact, showing the true picture of Nokia and Apple, which demonstrated that the #1 maker's profit picture was truly pathetic; so much so that Nokia is firing its CEO this week. Remember, that was the profit YOU told Stripes1776 you'd prefer to have?

And YOU want integrity and honesty? Start at with yourself.
