I find extreme loyalty to products to be similar to extreme loyalty to sports teams. You didn't win the game, you didn't make the car, why do you express pride as though you did? But the more important question, to me, is why do you feel the need to put down the other team, the competing product?
On another point, people have noted that MP was overreacting, as the criticism was not addressed to him. He may well be overreacting, but it was addressed to him. JWB, I have to say that responding directly to MP's defense of product marketing, with a statement to the gist of "apologists are lame," implies that you think MP is an apologist and thus lame. Which is kind of lame.
