Your #7:I'm put in mind of the Peanuts episode that provoked thought at the time, and that I now consider a classic in my memory.
- First panel: Lucy screams, YOU BLOCKHEAD!
- Second panel: Another girl says, "You shouldn't call Charlie Brown a blockhead." Lucy replies, "Why not?"
- Last panel: Girl replies, "Because he might be one.
Moral: You may be perfectly right in your post - but even if so, it might be bad form to say so.We don't need a return to the bad old days of flame wars on these threads!
You are mistaken. There is no “blockhead” nor any “person” in that post.
It was discussing the “Product” and saying how the “experience” of using it will “suck”.
Further, it stated that this “effect” of “sucking” is directly attributable to the “emotional” choice of the competitor to be “other” than Apple.
That is, to make a product in such manner and in such design as to specifically be able to say “we did not do it the way Apple did”.
And they have fallen short in expectations of performance because of the emotional decision making.
That is totally and completely different than Lucy and some girl in your cartoon.
Your post to me, however, IS about me.
And now, I reply to you.
These are the only such Lucy posts and you made it so.
Think about that.
