That's 88% of the threads about Longhorn, for those playing at home. So basically, this notion that you guys do nothing to provoke the flamewars, that it's just those nasty other folks invading someone else's thread and causing all the trouble, is just complete BS. Sell it somewhere else.

Sell it yourself. I looked at the Mac threads... and 100% were invaded by Windows partisans... and usually included insults to the Mac users.

I went through seven of your Longhorn threads (latest back) and found only ONE insult from a Mac user to a Windows users... but multiple insults from Windows users to Mac users. Often the subject of Macs was brought up either in the posted article or by a Windows user... making it a legitimate subject for discussion in those threads, especially if a comparison was being made one way or the other.

Guess what? It's not your place to say when someone else has been insulted. Nor is it mine, so let's look at the fact that you guys make a regular habit of inserting irrelevant comments into threads that have nothing at all to do with Apple or Macs, the purpose of which is to do nothing but disrupt and hijack the thread. But you just keep on telling yourselves that you're the victims here, that nothing you all have ever done could be construed as rude or disruptive - those of us who haven't drunk the rainbow-colored Kool Aid can see otherwise. Go whine to someone else about how oppressed you are - there's lots of places where that kind of "victimhood" is celebrated, but around here, nobody's buying it.
