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.
No, when I make jokes I make jokes. (To someone with a sense of humor it might be more noticeable, but it seems your sense of humor was surgically removed and replaced with an apple.) I make plenty of pointed sharp accusations with direction the rest of the time.

It had nothing to do with diplomacy. Internet forum threads are renowned for their tendency to go off track and get completely derailed, and we are actually doing quite well to keep it on Apple at all. Your ridiculous belief that every post here must be in answer to the OP is extra ridiculous. Heck, we even provided a more-or-less sound logical flow from one to the other.

"Apple bashing" would make a lot more sense if we weren't engaging in legitimate gripes about a mostly-related issue. You weren't undiplomatic, you were flat-out wrong.

Amazing how I am full of insults and strawman arguments, and you are merely undiplomatic.
