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.
You are mistaken. There is no “blockhead” nor any “person” in that post.
In rereading it, I see that you have a point. But when you conclude with "Suckers," I - looking at it from the kind of POV which has been evinced by those who have been "debating" on these threads - assumed that they would take it as ad hominem against them, and not against the developers of competitors to the iOS system."Blockhead!" wouldn't be taken as ill as "suckers." And people who read emotionally - which is generally the case in the flame wars - easily might identify with "Charlie Brown" (i.e., the developers of the iOS competition).IMHO. But happily, that doesn't seem to have eventuated in this case.
Please note that I don't disagree with you on the substance. I was only trying, in what I conceived to be a diplomatic way, to keep a guard on the emotional temperature.
