If you were never trying to debate Apple's acquisition practises, then you probably shouldn't have participated in the debate about them. Someone else started it, yes, but you then replied to them. That makes it fair to respond to your reply and address the contents of that reply. You directly commented on how Apple assimilates their acquisitions, and implied others do not. That is what I am addressing.
I completely understand that's not what your top level comment was about, but I didn't reply to your top level comment.
I think you might feel insulted by my use of cherry picking. I apologize for that. I can understand why you might feel that way, but it was meant more in the sense that the examples referred to are not comparable, not that you did it on purpose out of bad faith.
- root_axis 6y agoI don't feel insulted, it is simply a statement of fact that I did not cherry-pick since I did not pick those examples at all. I did not presume you were suggesting I "did on purpose" what was done by someone else. Of course you're free to respond to my comment, but I certainly did not imply that others do not assimilate their acquisitions (such is an obvious falsehood), I simply compared Apple's acquisitions to the examples offered to me in comparison. I understand you take issue with those examples but once again, they're not my examples. Anyway, we're just going in circles at this point, I'm gonna bow out here. Have a nice night.
