No, I don't lump all PC users. I am one, after all.

It's YOU I've complained about, in large part. You are the one tossing out invective, not me.

I agree completely with the analysis done by Swordmaker. There is a group, and you are one of them, who seem to have an unhealthy preoccupation with the computer choices of others.

I don't understand it, actually. I have wondered aloud if it is some kind of represzsed buyer's remorse. I just don't know.

I do know that the phenomenon is real, and even if there are one or two examples in the other direction, they can't and don't disguise the fact that overwhelmingly it is windows partisans slamming Mac users, not the other way round.

And its the personal dimension of many of these comments that we really don't appreciate. It's uncalled for.

And I reiterate that feeling here.

I know it's really difficult for the both of you to grasp this, but I don't care what you bought. I don't care that you like Macs. That doesn't bother me. I don't know how else to say it in such a way that you can grasp it. Maybe if I say it monosyllabically or something - me no care what you buy. Period. It doesn't concern me. What concerns me is the cult of victimhood that's taken root here. It's crap. That's what I'm on about here. You don't like the tone of some of what gets posted? Hey, neither do I, but unlike some, I'm willing to apply that to everyone.
