Yes, sounds like you've been drinking apple koolaid and fanboying over bullshit for 40 years.
> This is a silly discussion.
What's silly is reading through comments of multiple people discussing actual issues they face with macs, completely ignoring what's said, and then claiming 'apple is focused on higher-end experience' based on nothing but your own anecdotal experience and imagination.
- claytongulick 3y ago> Yes, sounds like you've been drinking apple koolaid and fanboying over bullshit for 40 years I mentioned that I switch back and forth between PC and Mac, depending on what's better at the time - so you're pretty far off the mark. Regardless, why are you responding with such anger and venom? > What's silly is ... I'd like to suggest that you take a moment to reflect on how you treat others. Even a stranger online.

What personal attacks? Please point out exactly where I've personally attacked you. > we try to focus on comments that are informative and add to the discussion. You mean like your comments in this chain? Where you dismiss the entire conversation as 'silly', based on nothing but your own personal, anecdotal experience? If it's silly, no need to participate. Your comments are rude, condescending and add nothing of substance to the discussion.
- claytongulick 3y ago@dang - wubrr is a newish account, I've reviewed their other comments/threads and they all seem fine, if a bit inflammatory. This one is off the rails though. I'll stop participating. Probably best if this whole thread is deleted (starting with my original comment), it adds no value.
