I didn't call anyone being irrational and definitely didn't have anyone's smartphone decision in my mind (I had, instead, people arguing for their favorite programming language in mind, to be honest). Also, I think you are more judging than I am. At this point, I can't take what you are saying as anything more than random attacks, sorry.

  Except that's exactly what we were talking about here: Saying that people are "irrational" for not buying the same thing the poster did, in this case, Apple products. And I believe that if you care that much about what other people are using to the point where you would have to question their rationality, then you're a class-A jerk.

    I replied to this: > The amount straw grasping I've seen when people try to justify their purchases leaves me unable to tell anymore The Mac mention in the grand-(...)-parent is just an example there. Surprise: I own a Mac. > Except that's exactly what we were talking about here: Saying that people are "irrational" for not buying the same thing the poster did, in this case, Apple products. It seems to me that you are the only one talking about people being irrational or not. People can't be irrational. Decisions can and only with different knowledge and/or values. > I believe that if you care that much about what other people are using to the point where you would have to question their rationality, then you're a class-A jerk. Class-A attack towards a straw man! :) Your potential issues with a stereotype have nothing to do with what I said. Good luck in your crusade, though.
