"Re: my comment #14 that (I assume) you requested that the Admin Mod pull: Pardon me, I didn't realize this Apple-bashfest thread couldn't tolerate someone pointing out the obvious flaws in the article. Macs have had malware at an increasing rate for a couple of years now. The author just discovered it. Hurrah for him. I hope his paycheck from this sad piece of writing can pay for some more up-to-date research and a few English lessons. As for the thread, have fun, see ya."

No, actually it was someone else who let us know about your ad hominem attack with profanity, neither of which is welcome here. Your disagreement with an author is no reason to take it out on a fellow Freeper.

Sincere apology offered for the profanity. I was indeed aggravated by the article and my language was inappropriate.

The comment that sounded ad hominem was actually intended as tongue-in-cheek, but obviously came off way too harsh, so another apology offered for that.

Just curious, I take it that referring to FR Mac users as gay and bots (see typical comments in thread above) is not ad hominem, since those comments were not pulled? I thought the rule was that attacking the technology was fine, but attacking the person who happens to use it was not.

I am put off by such attacks, whether made against Mac users or Windows users. Am I entitled to request that such posts get pulled? Or is that considered being hypersensitive? :)
