The parent comment is in bad taste (and it's indeed weird it was a reply to your comment, seems out of place) but from my experience and observation I have noticed that Apple shills/fanboys, especially, do not really change their views. I assume something get hardwired into them. But even then the best way is probably to just ignore and not attack them.
- progbits 3y agoYou are both right, it was a childish comment that I can no longer edit. Sorry. I do disagree ignoring them is the best. This gives them an echo chamber here and can others can get the impression they are always right. The attack was not helpful as you said. I'll try to do better in the future.
- latexr 3y ago> but from my experience and observation I have noticed that Apple shills/fanboys, especially, do not really change their views. From my experience and observation, the people who hate on specific groups are more set in their ways than the people hated on. The preconception that someone is a shill and won’t change their mind does more harm to the conversation than what the other person believes. It is impossible to change someone’s mind if you start from the assumption that it won’t happen. Case in point: this very thread. It seemed like the person I replied to was angry and set in their ways, but they took stock of what was said, apologised, and vowed to do better. That is a positive outcome for everyone and all it took was to not lash out in return and a belief that everyone can have a bad day.
