How come each side feels the need to "convert" the other?

Odd that I've never seen a thread that started out bashing Apple. Occasionally someone will post a reference to theoretical security flaws in Macs or in Linux, but most threads like this start out bashing MS.

Most?  That's putting it mildly ... usually it's right in the headline.

This is perhaps the most bizarre and unsuported statement I have seen on FR this month. And I've seen a lot of 'em.

As a matter of fact, these threads nearly always start out discussing a new or improved feature of a Mac with hardly a reference to the other side of the street, and then some distressed and anxious PC user barges into the discussion with the tired canard that Mac users are "snooty" or "condescending", or are somehow "bashing" Microsoft.

Nonsense. The truth is that Mac users are WAAAY past caring about what goes on in the MS world.

That's what REALLY scratches the PC users irritability bone; there is nothing worse than being ignored.
