No, I think it does tell us something about the author. He decided to look for confirmation that Apple fanboys are especially egregious. Why? I would guess that he has some problem with Apple or some of the encompassing culture. Whether random people on internet blog post comments reflect Apple culture or not, he decided to hold it up as evidence that Apple people are toxic.
- prawn 16y agoI can't agree. I think the problem he has is with fanboys being wankers. In this case, they're Apple fanboys but he'd have a similar gripe had he said something about the best console and attracted a PS3-360 war.
- brudgers 16y agoThe difference is that any criticism of any Apple product anywhere on the internet is somewhat likely to provoke rabid responses. On the other hand, criticism of the newest Sony Vio, will probably be ignored and rarely elicits ad hominem, and the idea of Motorola fanboys is a bit absurd. It is not really surprising given that Apple actively provides talking points to its customers (e.g. I'm a Mac).
