Everything you need to know about OS X Permissions Repair, but were afraid to ask. . . and more than you really need to know, but good to know anyway!— PING!

Apple OS X Permission Repair Tutorial Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

I have been threatened in a vile Freepmail by a member of Freerepublic that if I post anything again, he will offer Jim Robinson $2000 to banish me permanently from Freerepublic on the grounds I am, according to him a "faggot," I am not homosexual, my girlfriend finds that uproariously hilarious, as do my two daughters. He claims this because I use Apple products and ping the 700 members of the Apple/Mac/iPhone/iPad/iOS ping list to articles about those topics. . . Which he maintains come from a "faggot" company. He maintains all Apple users are "faggots."

I challenge the members of the Apple ping list to each donate at least $10 each to the latest Freepathon to counter such extortion. I will be donating $100. Let's show the power of the Apple Ping list in supporting Freerepublic!

It is sad it has gotten to this point. Now if Apple started selling blowup dolls and buttplugs I might agree. Until then I will continue to support Apple.

I’m sad to read this.

FReepers please remember FR is a place to discuss things. It is the website I find myself returning to again and again.

That sort of treatment has no place here. I have disagreed with Swordmaker on occasion but I find his posts valuable and I support him 100%.

Don’t know who he’s talking about, but to that person I just say: please ease up.

We’re all on basically the same side.

One has to wonder how someone can become so obsessed with a brand or the hatred of a brand that they resort to a personal attack. I'd have to guess that this individual has some emotional or phycological issues that go well beyond his hatred of all things Apple. Perhaps he's light in the loafers. Not that there's anything wrong with that! No sir!

BTW. I for one appreciate the Apple articles you post, and am making another $10 donation to show my support.

First I've heard of this. Keep posting!

I note you've been here since 2001. Prior to your arrival there was a poster named "JimGib." He was obsessed with Ross Perot. Anyone who spoke and unkind word of his hero was immediately put upon. He actually called me a "dung beetle! LOL! A very amusing character. One of many who have fallen by the wayside over the years.

I have used both Apple and Microsoft products. And will continue to do so...

Challenge accepted.

The anti-Apple people have reached new lows.

The jerk who said this to you should “out” himself rather than hide.

I’m amazing to me that they cannot identify a phone or a computer et al as being just that, a phone or a computer. Allow us to enjoy our gadgets just as you enjoy yours.

I'm a monthly donor, and donate more in Freepathons. I'll donate $100 on your behalf. Who is the fudge-packer harassing you? Swordmaker, you provide a valuable service to us on Free Republic. The troublemaker is nothing but a jerk, idiot, and so full of bile that he is destroying this site. I used to think that Free Republic was a wonderful site of conservatives who could debate rationally and keep things mellow between us. Lately, that has not been the case because of fools like the Apple-haters who are so vile. Because of that, I haven't been donating as much as in earlier years. This used to be a wonderful place. Please name the bad Freeper publicly and I'll donate $200. He probably gives nothing to support this site.

I’m not fond of Apple politics, but they make great products. I don’t worship them, I just enjoy their products.

It would be nice if every quality product had a conservative company behind it, but that’s not the case. If I boycotted every liberal company, I’d be living in a cave.

FR is my top resource for Apple news and I appreciate what Swordmaker does for us here. (Yes, he’s a bit of a cheerleader for Apple, and sometimes an apologist, but we all have our biases.)
