> The premise is that Dennis trolls Apple threads with an irrational hatred.

I'd like to add a light-hearted personal observation to this otherwise unfortunate thread.

There are certainly some hate-filled, anti-Apple trolls who enjoy nothing better than ranting against Apple. But it's a free country still, and there's no law against them doing so. There are of course rules of FreeRepublic, and rules of good manners, but not everyone reads and obeys JimRob's admonitions, and not everyone was lucky to have a Mother who taught them manners. Hence the trolls, most of whom are humorless maroons, who can and should be ignored.

But I've observed that while Dennis does exhibit an irrational hatred of all things Apple, he does so in a manner that is so over the top, so outrageous, that it is actually funny to read.

There have been Dennis posts that I would swear are satire rather than slur. And there have been Dennis posts that show that he has a great sense of humor, blended in with the irrational hatred. For example his constant advice to sell Apple stock because it's tanking... that's pure genius. I daresay Dennis has become famous for his willingness to slam anything about Apple, in much the same way that Lazamataz is famous for his willingness to hit anything with two legs (and actually I think the legs are optional).

Whether Dennis posts the eventual news article that appears when Apple addresses this screen problem is irrelevant. None of us believe he will, so what of that?

The important thing is that Dennis, unlike the vast majority of his less generously endowed comrades in Apple-hate, generally posts with something of a sense of humor.

We should celebrate his doing so, and encourage his less gifted troll-buddies to get a clue and a sense of humor as well.

Light-hearted, fellas. Just sayin'... :-)

While I appreciate your attempt at peacemaking, in the interest of full disclosure, I must interject.

I know nothing of this Dennis person. I can say, however, that if you dare cast aspersion upon Apple, the Apple fanbois will descend upon you exactly like the homosexual pervert lobby. Just sayin'.
