The Mac fans on Windows threads aren't sadistic with hatred, as are many Windows fans on Mac threads. I'm one who sometimes goes to Windows threads, although I use both platforms. In general, the Windows fans who jump on Mac threads never use Macs, and indeed they state they will never use Apple products. The reverse is not true, in general, because many Mac users on Windows threads are there because they use both platforms, and in general stay away if not using Windows at all. I'm sure Swordmaker can attest to immense numbers of Windows troublemakers on Apple threads, many are there simply to invade and not to share or gain real expertise.
Oh, trust me, I know :-) I was a regular on the Apple threads for many years before I started up the Windows list, being the owner of over a dozen Apple products (3 Mac Minis, 2 old iMacs, 2 MacBooks, 2 iPads, 3 iPods, an iPhone, never mind KBs and magic-mice) among my even larger collection of Windows and Linux machines. Actually I started shortly after I signed on as a FReeper by joining ShadowAce's "Tech" ping list, mostly Linux stuff, and later joined Swordmaker's Apple ping list, which was back maybe better part of a decade ago? Swordmaker probably remembers better than I do...
Which is to say, I was there during all the bloodiest of the Apple Thread Flame Wars, including JimRob's Cease Fire Post and all the rest. Yep, I know. :-)
