(Emphasis mine.)
So you can use sarcasm, but I can't? Sorry, I did not know that. (Oops! Sarcasm again! My bad.)
Yes, my original post was in response to yours, but it wasn't aimed at you personally. And while you may have never called yourself a "diehard Apple fanboy" you sure as hell act like one. You responded to criticism of Apple as if you yourself had been personally insulted. I wasn't being "hateful" of Apple and apple cultists. I was trying to poke gentle fun at, what I see as, the absurd worship of all things Apple. You then tried to stir the flames by hurling barbs at Walt Disney in an obvious attempt to anger Disney fans. It didn't work, because no one here is as worshipful of Disney as you appear to be of Apple. It is you, BTW, who started with the personal insults, not me.
There is nothing wrong with brand loyalty; but loyalty to the point that you get angry at the merest criticism (whether justified or not) of that brand is way over the top.
I don't hate Apple. Apple is no better, or worse, than any other company. If that statement makes you angry, and you feel personally insulted by it, then it is you that has a problem, my friend, not me.
