I’ve never even been able to have the Mac users here on FR to even acknowledge there is a liberal cult aspect to Apple. They always deny this.
Nah, they're not hiding. It was the fact that you baited them too strongly in the beginning. Basically, you gave yourself away. Here's a FRiendly bit of fishing advice.
When you bait people, just like fishing, you have to start out more subtle. Keep your first half-dozen comments fairly neutral. Hold off on the name-calling and sarcasm until you've drawn them onto the thread.
Once they've commented, they're hooked, and you can start laying into them hard, and they have to respond! See the beauty of it?
Remember: you can't start reeling 'em in until you've got 'em hooked! That's the first rule of fishing.

I've been wondering, how come there's no Windows Ping List? As a happy Win7 user (and System Administrator of a company developing Windows software), I consider this unfortunate. There's a Mac Ping List (Swordmaker's), and the Tech Ping List (ShadowAce's) which serves as a Linux list. I use those OSes too, and enjoy those lists. But I can't fathom why no one has started a Windows Ping list.
Do you think there ought to be a Windows Ping List? I'm almost thinking of starting one myself...
Sure that will work when you're fishing for onsies and twosies, but I like to fish with dynamite :-)
I'm sure they do...just like Obama denies he's a racist even though he attended a racist church.
And another thing that makes no sense is how supposed conservatives would want to support a company who run by liberals also have a rabid liberal following.
Oh, BS, Blue...
Sword, can we have you on record where you acknowledge a majority of the Apple users are flaming liberals? Go ahead, say it, it will make you feel better.
let's see YOU prove that assertion, Blue...
Take a stroll through a Apple store. Enough said.
You can tell a person's political beliefs by how they look? Wow!
The most opinionated people I have seen on FR are the anti-Mac crowd. They are always claiming that Mac users are snobs and gay to boot. The anti-Mac crowd seem to have a great deal of emotional involvement in the subject.
All I have ever seen a Mac user do is to tell others to get a Mac, you'll like it. That seems to send you guys into a frenzy of a sort, claiming you can make a much better and faster machine out of banana peels and scotch tape for $.32.
Grow up children! Its not that important what kind of computer people use.
By the way, it's an Apple store not a Apple store.
You must not spend much time in the ABM threads.
