For some reason Apple spawns the opposite of such hatred. Zealous apple fans stand in lines for days to purchase products, I think some of the hatred is directed at that behavior. Back on topic though, some people just haven't drank the kool-aid and want to discuss problems in a support forum. I don't see this forum moderation as an issue, as it seems only disruptive threads that didn't address problems were deleted.
- CaptainZapp 16y ago"I think some of the hatred is directed at that behavior." Those would have to be really sad folks. Why should anyone hate somebody for standing in-line for days to purchase an, in my opinion, overpriced gadget. I think more to the point is that Apple fanatics defend anything that Apple pulls off. I could come up with a multitude of examples, but my favorite is the finder bug, that when you moved a file to a different volume this may have resulted in complete loss of the file (something Unix figured out, like, 30 years ago). (http://www.macintouch.com/leopard/movebug.html http://www.macintouch.com/leopard/movebug.html) This is a bug, bugs happen and they can (and usually are fixed). But you had a bunch of rabid Apple fanatics who poisoned just about every discussion by trying to defend something undefensible. It's the same reason why you can't have reasonable discussions with members of a cult. What the dear leader says is THE TRUTH and everybody else is out there to get us, infiltrate us and destroy us. I may be modded to hell and then some for this comment, but that's really how I see it and it's annoying behaviour.
