I don't recall ever calling myself a "diehard Apple fanboy" - but if you need to reduce me to a label in order to justify your boorish behavior, so be it.

Actually, the way I recall this particular conversation going (and I can scroll back, so I know I'm correct) is that there was a funny headline linked to an article about Jobs. CP said that he was a "douche". Kevy engaged her and asked why he was a douche for his promoting his product , and CP responded that the various products should compete on their own ("Why not just let products compete instead of telling everyone what to think?"). Then Betty took a jab at Apple fanboys. I then sarcastically suggested that Apple suspend all their promotion and advertising, and the next post - your first post in this topic, was a direct response to my comment (you quoted me), and was filled with vitriolic sarcasm and misspelling.

So please don't act holier-than-thou when you're being a pompous bully.

There was no slobbering on my part. I was just responding to what I saw was a particularly cheap and easy shot coming from the "other side".

And the "obviously I hit too close to home" crap? Really? I guess I expected more from you.
