Still accusing ME of attacking Freepers but you have yet to address post 264. Thanks for looking the other way when it serves your best interest.

What do you want me to say about it? Do I think you are cheap? I don't know. I haven't analyzed your comments with that in mind. However, as ad hominem attacks go, that's pretty mild. I think it is an observation that seems to have some basis for making it, not an attack. I do think you have some serious problems. One of them is the inability to recognize when you are insulting and offending people rather than discussing an inanimate object, topic, or subject.

The very beginning, the root of this thread, is you comparing your fellow Freepers who use and disagree with your position on Mac oriented threads, to the worst of our opponents.

Mac threads resemble DU.

THAT is an insult to everyone in a Mac thread. It was intentional. It is purposefully intended to be hurtful. That is YOUR vanity post... that is YOU making ad hominem attacks.

That is like saying you Mac users are similar to the leaders of Nazi Germany, or the politburo of the Soviet Union. Those are fighting words to conservatives. They are insults and were meant to be insults. They provide NOTHING probative about the merits or demerits of Mac or PC platforms.

Frankly we Mac users are SICK and TIRED of being the butt of the so-called jukes that PC users think is funny that they repetitively and snidely post in Mac threads with smiley faces as though a smiley face takes away the nasty intent.

Let's look at your comments, slurs and insults, along with those of some of the people you pulled out of the woodwork on this thread:

YOU: ". . . Apple users are naive. . ."

YOU: Apple users "flock" and "claws come out" and it gets "ugly" because they have the temerity to disagree with your pronouncements.

"Don't be bothered with iDiots."

"Macbots are vicious."

"It's like a cult. . ."

Posting the same offensive picture for the umpty-umpth time: "Mac Users, Ten percent of the market share. Ninety percent of the crazy."

Mac users are "Worse than atheists, worse than ACORN, worse even than global warmists!"

"They are desperately trying to justify why they paid far too much"

Another picture, also for the nth time: "Gay-test IF you like the one on the left, I've got bad news for you..."

"My parents discouraged me from ever dating a Mac user."

YOU: ". . . they resemble Democrats remarkably, and their behavior typically resembles the nasty vulgarity you’d see over on Democratic Underground."

"Mac users have a tendency to be democrats. The stereotype is sitting in a starbucks, unkempt, unbathed, with an open Macbook"

"I bet Hitler used a Mac. ;~)"

"Oh, I’d never DATE one (Mac users). Their machines don’t have cooties, but the majority of them have, er, “viruses” themselves..."

YOU: ". . . Apple cult users. . ."

"Mac owners belong to a cult and they defend their beliefs with a religious fervor. They sound more like DUers than Conservatives."

YOU: "And you’re a Romney supporter. What a joke. Talk about RINO ALERT!!!! Why are you here?"

"Whats your reading comprehension level, 3rd grade? Second?"

"Church of Apple Macintosh? Hail Steve Jobs?"

YOU: ". . .the BS some of the Apple disciples spew forth."

"Mac owners lack a sense of humor." (That's like saying "Blacks and Jews don't have a sense of humor" when the so-called humor is the ethnic put-down humor from the majority toward the minority.)

YOU: "Swordmaker will post some lengthy reply to you . . . I wonder why the Apple sheep are so blind as to not see this?"

"That's why I'm not suckered into buying one. Only a fool . . ."

YOU: "The Apple cult will disagree . . ."

YOU: ". . . the Apple Elite can . . ."

YOU: ". . . iGenius dude making $7 per hour... that turtlenecked pro-Obama dweeb. . ."

I've provided a list of ad hominem attacks on just this thread. Now, you do the same... ad hominem attacks on PC users on this thread. I know you'll find some because I deliberately posted some. List them. Let's see the comparative nastiness.

I’m still waiting for that list of ad hominem attacks from Mac users to PC users on this thread. Tell you what, you can also include the “battery” thread as well... the one you claim is like DU...
