What does it matter what OS someone uses?

You like yours, I like mine.. I don't slam PC users.

(And yes, I use a Mac)

Can't we find more important stuff to fight about?

It doesn't matter a whit. Not a single bit. You're happy with what you've got, and who am I to question that? Why should you care what I think? Why should I care what you think? The only point I wanted to make here is that everybody (generically speaking, not necessarily meaning you in particular), IMO, is partly responsible for the way these threads go. I haven't got a clue why saying that should be so controversial, but there it is. The tone and lack of civility on the evolution threads is due to both evolutionists and and creationists. The tone on the drug threads is due to both pro-legalization and anti-legalization posters. The tone on the Civil War threads is due to both the unionists and neo-confederates (who will likely both object to those labels, but whatever). I doubt anyone who hasn't picked a side on those topics would seriously disagree with that, but somehow, here, it's a cause for massive complaint.
