But then again, you seem convinced we should "just title this thread the Apple Hater's bashing thread", not that you gave any particular reasons there. Seems an awful lot like an insult to me.
And I wonder who gained a reputation (in another not-so-distant thread) for straw men while repeatedly misrepresenting everyone else's posts (as long as they are derogatory about Apple) and quoting only the parts of them that make people sound stupid....

I see, when you insult people and use strawman arguments, then you are just joking. You sure seem to joke a lot. Vague accusations seem to be popular with you as well.
My point with the Apple Bashers thread comment is that most of the comments were more "I don't like Apple because..." rather than addressing the post that started the thread, which was about Apple purchasing a company and what implications that might have on independent authors. I certainly could have been more diplomatic about it.
