YOU ASKED for a discussion of your points. . . but again you proved my point. DISMISSAL is another form of ad hominem. You are true to form. YOU do not want to engage. You CHOOSE to ignore anything that might prove you wrong and disturb your fantasy. Run and hide. Typical of the troll.
Yep, typical of a close-minded individual, Swordmaker ... he was just someone who put up the pretense of wanting to know, but never really did!
Look guys, I engaged through multiple posts, during which you never addressed my original point. Finally, I gave up. Then you post a *book* of a post and expect me to spend my valuable time revisiting a topic I abandoned.
Call that “troll” behavior if you want, but you should have gotten to the point to begin with. You can’t even admit that the original article’s title means “Apple has been *losing in the market share battle since 2012* and /finally/ won a quarter.” Get it? They were losing in the market share battle. You can blather on all you want about profits - I didn’t make a point about profits. I made a point that the market share gain is short lived.
Now, I as previously stated, I’m done with this thread. Your responses past the point when I originally said I was done only serve to embarrass yourself in a weak attempt to insult and bait someone back into a fight which they have left. Please don’t embarrass yourselves further. Or do. I don’t care.
