What? - you don't feel that your remarks projecting attitudes upon other aren't insulting? I mean, you take a sarcastic snippet and turn it into flaming volcano. This isn't the first time you've complained about someone's rhetorical tactics and then proceeded use those very same methods yourself. Think about - what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
- If you wish to complain about something/someone, don't indulge in it yourself.
- Never start a 'Apple is great thread' on a Windows forum and not expect gainsay.
Frankly, I was already passed the point where I felt that the only answer to your sarcasm was to insult you. Way passed. After a couple of such remarks, what else could one answer, when you feel the need to go on and on and on? The stereotypical view of Apple users is just that - stereotypical. Everyone and their brother knows that. Can't you give it a break and just join the conversation at some point?
You've pointed out the fact that generalities were useful and I agree. But after a couple of pokes, I fail to see the purpose of constantly bringing that back on the floor as you do. The Apple users that you insist on poking are not here, your sarcasm benefits no Windows user either - you can take and try to enjoy the conversation, can't you?
Lastly I didn't start this thread, and I merely stated reasons why I and certain others thought Apple was simpler to use and a valid platform.
Anyway, keep on accusing me of accusing you of accusing me. I'm done with the non sense.
Well and good, although I do think you were a bit rash in even bring that subject up. Also, as I said, most folks don't take general remarks personally, and I would suggest that you do not make assumptions about another's character, unless you are willing to have them made about yours - it's not non-sense at all.
Peace, then?
Look, I
felt some things weren't called for and I know I was equally harsh in my replies - because at the end of the day, I feel like we're all part of this amazing community and people here are most likely able to tell what's hype and what's a justified decision. By the way, I realize that this is just how I
feel and it isn't objective.
Anyway, after a while, sarcastic remarks and stereotypes make me feel like some people are taking a step back, putting what I tend to
assume is an
implicit agreement into question. My
fault again - assumptions and implicit agreements.
I've held the PC fort so often, I've had that discussion so often in favor of the PC side, turned so many folks onto Sonar (and offered supported and basic training to get them started) that if someone quotes me and replies to me w/ sarcasm, yes, it's a bit like a slap in the face. Not because I use a Mac, but because it's like calling what I wrote BS.
That's just how
I feel about this place obviously, it isn't a forum rule or anything, and it's actually pretty naive I guess. But I actually prefer it that way. There are too many good folks hanging around here to keep the shield up all the time.
