No no - one of the reasons I enjoy FreeRepublic is that I get exposed to a variety of stuff. I like that.
But think about it: all the guy does is post on Apple topics. That’s it. Period. And it’s not short posts. And if you say anything contrary to his line about Apple, he goes ballistic, posting 3,000 word essays in response and drawing in others to the argument.
It’s either an unhealthy, cult-like obsession, or he’s being paid to be a social marketer. If it’s the latter, I’d prefer NOT to have paid social marketers on this forum - how about you?
Of course, I don’t RUN the forum, but I’ve been a member for 15 years. When something this suspect pops up, you have to wonder if we’ve been infiltrated by a social marketer who is here to push a product.
That’s all.
Got it.
So, as others have advised....you might want to just stay away from these threads.
I, like many others, appreciate the pings and the info on all things Apple/Mac.
Ummm ... bolo ... the truly unhealthy cult-like obsession is coming from YOU ... and other members of the APPLE-HATERS CULT ...
I happen to be one of the huge group of Apple customers who like to keep up on Apple news and other reports. I’ve signed up with this Apple ping list to be able to keep up. I’m happy that we have this ping list on Free Republic.
You’re the one who is a member of the APPLE-HATERS CULT and obsessively unhealthy!
I've been a member of FR since 1997, and of its two predecessor forums for some time before that, insofar as that means anything.
I rely on these Apple posts both personally and professionally, and I refer friends and coworkers to them who would not otherwise have interest or reason to visit FR. I can count 20 or so people who have come for the Apple posts at my suggestion and over time become full-on participants.
I'm frankly sick of you and the other trolls polluting these threads with your inane chatter.
If you don't like Apple, don't click the thread. You're as bad as a Lost Kos-er.
We're doing business here. Stay the hell out.
Actually, Swordmaker has posted a number of threads related to the Shroud of Turin.
