- africanboy 6y agoI'm always kind. But if I post a graph and Apple zealots downvote me because the graph contradicts their belief, what's the kind way to expose "zealousness"? Should I ask for forgiveness in front of God Steve? Or should I be judged and punished by the San Cupertino Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition? What I understand is that being a cult is not against HN guidelines. Which is ok, but at least don't blame me for seeing it... p.s. did you notice that OP wrote 9i which is a CPU that does not exist? Can you correct someone else's mistake on HN when it's from a member of the Sparro...ehm Apple cult?
- sradman 6y agoUnilateral kindness in the face of unkindness, is the key here I think. Read the four paragraphs following the graphs in your AnandTech link and square that interpretation with your own. Yes I did notice that the OP wrote 9i and in the context of the thread I knew exactly what they were referring to. A charitable interpretation is a typo or autocorrect while typing on a mobile device, maybe from someone who has written about Oracle 9i before.
