Actually, it's just you. Days after our last pleasant tête-à-tête, I have noticed a ridiculous number of Apple posts on this mainly political forum. Then I noticed it's mostly you.
So I looked back at your posting history. You're a full-bred cultist. Four to five pages back, and all of your posts are for Apple. ALL of them. (Except for one brief foray into a Samsung bashing thread.) And your posts aren't short. It's all you do. All day. Every day. It's a sickness. At least Star Traveler comments on other threads of interest, like he's not totally obsessed with Apple. For that, he gets respect.
You on the other hand...
Shouldn't you take your obsession to an appropriately themed forum? Or do your Apple overlords pay you to push Apple propaganda here and on other forums? This is starting to look suspiciously like a paid social marketer...
Busted.
There are over 500 FReepers on the Mac ping list that are interested and I’m sure most of us donate to keep FR up and running…
Well ... bolo ... you’re the one who has a problem. You have now become recognized as a full-fledged member of the APPLE-HATERS CULT!
bolobaby, you really need to lighten up and not allow yourself to be so easily deranged by seeing threads concerning certain topics. Many of us look forward to these threads and the posts in them (at least the non-deranged ones) and are very interested in them. Perhaps you should simply avoid threads that anger you and not try to suppress them like the progressives do with thoughts they do not like?
I am glad swordmaker pings me. It keeps me up on what is happening. More power to him.
I am now an elderly Apple user, but started back in the early 80s, helping my husband manage our architectural and project management practice for 30 years, saving us the cost of other employees and IT expenses.
I now rely on Swordmaker’s posts to keep me informed about important and accurate information that helps me sort out the truth from the FUD. He is a professional, and his business involves all platforms and operating systems. He is very gracious with his time and advice to those of us who use Macs.
And, please know that my adult children, who are busy with working, children, etc., and therefore unable to check on on FR every day, rely on me to pass along this info to keep them informed.
My son just bought a new MacBook Pro, and I have sent this article on to him. He has to use a PC notebook for work, but prefers to use Macs for his personal use at home. I hope he is not one of those who needs the information Swordmaker has provided.
He doesn’t have the time or money to keep up and deal with all the PC issues, (busy weekends running teenage boys to all the sports league practices and tournaments, laundry, marketing, and all the task of a single parent.
I just do not understand your hostility to those of us who prefer a different operating system, a reliable computing experience. I do not lash out at those who love to tinker with PCs, and call them names, or question their motives and intelligence.
Please reconsider posting such non-helpful vitriol, directed at Swordmaker, and indirectly a lot of us Apple users who do not call you names for your personal preferences in choice of computer products.
“Busted. “????
You’re the one who is “busted” fool! I appreciate getting the Apple related pings. Go away! Stay off Apple threads. You’re a troll!
I like the Apple pings. If you don’t, just ignore them. All of us have topics we ignore.
And you don’t have to read or post to these threads.
Do I see you berating the gardening threads? The endless, no sense of brevity Catholic threads? The “we hate Mormons” threads?
There are lots of threads I avoid on FR. Maybe you should do the same?
