- swombat 14y agoWhat I'm criticising is not the personal viewpoint - that's fine - it's the huge generalisations coming off the back of it: "I don't like the iPad mini for this one reason and therefore Apple is fucked an Jobs would never have let that happen!"
- davewiner 14y agoCan I make a suggestion that you not put "in quotes" things the person you're conversing with did not say. That's a fairly hostile thing to do. Speak for yourself, not for the other guy. Everything in everything I write has an implicit IMHO. So ease up there buddy -- and don't get all derailed just because someone had an opinion you don't like or agree with. It's the beauty of life -- we all get to have our own opinions and act on them. YMMV.

Speak for yourself, not for the other guy. You do realise that you just used quotes in a way that contradicts what you just said, right? I (and many others, you included, it seems) use quotes to single out a statement or phrase. In this particular case, I used them in an even more boring way: to mark a statement that I felt paraphrased your post. I don't see how that's hostile. You seem to have a thing about quotes, though, since you remarked on them to someone else on this thread! Anyway, I'm not the one who's worked up :-) I'm certainly not "derailed" (am I allowed to use quotes this time? Cheers!)... I was merely stating my opinion in response to your opinion!
