When there are similar people in most Apple, Gruber, Google and Android threads, there are obviously flamebait conversations.The smug superiority and abject hate of of other companies/platforms from Gruber, Marco, 37 Signals, Roughly Drafted, MG Siegler etc. can sometimes be really overwhelming and the labeling of anyone that doesn't share in the worship beaing called a hater causes even worse discourse.
