“I don’t believe that Star Traveler called all Windows developers unethical”
On thread which Star Traveler started - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2402373/posts?q=1&;page=1
His first post -
“Apple people/users don’t take kindly to any “scammer developers” in this computer space... :-)
A warning to any Windows developers (and their ilk...), don’t try scamming the system in the Apple computer space... “
To which I responded in post 3 “Thats rather offensive”
Star Travel posted in 14 “Yeah, an unfortunate consequence to having some Windows developers show up for the part”
and his post 18 “ LOL... I see you haven’t come across what the Apple users know about Windows and their developers... :-)
For such a crappy system, it’s no wonder that that sort of mentality will carry over into the Apple/Macintosh sphere... it’s take a few years to straighten them out... “
and
in post 57 he said “Where things go downhill into a deep hole to never get out of... is when “Windows” is mentioned... LOL... “
and in 58 “Just me being “pro-active” before the Windows users get “cranked up”... :-) “
Star Traveler and I have clashed before and this thread is a good example of who the real troll is. He even admits to baiting windows people for his personal entertainment.
So ya see Swordmaker, you asked for an example and thanks to Google you have the one you doubted me on. You even posted to this particular thread. So you were wrong.
Again, its not the company, product, OS, or overly high prices. Its the lame infantile snarky comments from mac people like Star.
Star Travler's comment is a fairly mild insult (and yes, I would classify it as an insult), to "some Windows developers," not to Windows users on a Windows thread and as such it is non-responsive to the challenge. Therefore, it is not what you claimed justifies your insulting behavior on Mac threads. In fact, Driftdiver, you have further mischaracterized what I challenged you to do. I did not ask for "an example," I asked for links to several examples on FreeRepublic ... and not for examples in MAC THREADS but examples from WINDOWS THREADS. In fact, let's look at exactly what I asked for: You specifically claimed that it was the insulting behavior of Mac users toward Windows users that you asserted was prevalent in all Windows oriented threads on FreeRepublic. I quote you verbatim, where you claim that I, personally, am guilty of insulting Windows users:
"You never waste an opportunity to go on a windows thread and start throwing insults."
To which I challenged you.
"Please show me a Windows thread where an Apple advocate has insulted a Windows user on Freerepublic. I have challenged people who claim this numerous times and have yet to find these insulting comments any where near the level of vituperative level we receive from Windows fanatics on Mac threads... no where near. So, driftdiver, the ball is in your court. Show us. Where are these insults to Windows users. Show us.You are the one who repeatedly come into threads on Apple topics and throw stink bombs, spit wads, made factoids, and falsehoods that have no basis in reality, and then blame us as though we somehow deserve your calumny and disingenuous misrepresentations. It's up to you, now, to prove it. Link to some of this Mac user nastiness Freerepublic Windows threads. Put up or shut up.
Show me the insults TO Windows users... not mere criticisms of Windows... insults to the users. Someone posting "Get a Mac" does not qualify as an insult. How about something even as mild as "Windows weenies" or calling Windows users "gay"? C'mon, if it's so prevalent, it should be easy for you to find examples all over Freerepublic.
You have STILL not proved your point, driftdiver.
So. TO PROVE YOUR ASSERTION, Driftdiver, you have to link to:
In fact, Driftdiver, prove insulting behavior specifically from me to Windows users in Windows threads. I expect an apology to be forthcoming.
