I would not characterize them that way... I post informative threads that Mac users and people considering switching to Macs find useful.
Strange thing is that most negative comments on this thread are from Windows users bashing their own computers. Then there are a few Windows users who always appear to make snarky comments about Mac users and their level of computer knowledge. . . or sexual orientation. It is not started by Mac users.
Also, if you think this is a Mac Vs. PC war thread, then you haven't seen one.
I'm just not crazy about the idea of having to buy their hardware to run what's essentially x86 *nix.
