I think you need to talk to somebody about this
It is just a computer
Laugh at it and move on
I am laughing. At the people who come on to these threads to insult every single user of Apple products because for some reason that seems to threaten them. Why? Why do you find my comment to incpen disturbing? I had made a specific prediction that these comments in the exact format would show up. When they did, I posted that they had. Then you come in implying that I have the problem. Same laughter about that, too. I had predicted to incpen exactly what was going to happen. It did. So how is that disturbing for you? What bothers YOU about that that seems to make you think I have a problem? is it that I knew exactly how these posters would be going to react to this article? Exactly how does that make it MY problem?
I am merely the keeper of the Apple/Mac/iOS ping list on FreeRepublic which is now composed of over 725 of your fellow Freepers. Do you find it strange that I might find it disturbing that other Freepers feel it necessary to come on to a thread about Apple and insult ALL 725 plus of THEM because they choose to use a computer the insulters don't use???? These particular people who sling the insults do it in every single thread about Apple computers and phones. It is as predictable as the sun rising and setting. Frankly, the continuing insults aimed at Mac and Apple users long ago lost any humor for Apple and Mac users.
Why do you think it is ME who needs to "talk to someone about this" when it seems to be THEM who have the uncontrollable compulsion to invade a thread merely to insult people they obviously do not know? They could just as easily IGNORE the thread and move on. But they don't. They are compelled to comment, and what's more, make nasty comments about the users of Apple products. Why is that compulsion there, Arl295? What made YOU jump to the conclusion that it was ME who had a problem instead of THEM? That they have to comment in an insulting manner toward all Mac users is truly what is much more pathological. . . yet you choose to imply that I am the one who has a pathological problem? That is really weird.
Unfortunately for some it's not a computer but a way of life. It's easy to spot those who worship technology. Individuals who don't find hope except by embracing a Ray Kurzweil futurist mindset. To speak ill of their technology or their motivations is to commit blasphemy. But in reality it's low-rent materialistic narcissism.
