Gregg,
You are spot on. People need to start using a little more common sense in their communications with each other.

What you do to the Other, you do to yourself… You are He!

Well, call it what you will, but I’ve owned Macs since the very first one and I stuck with this company through it all, and have read and enjoyed MDN for a good part of that time… and this particular take just seemed unusually – and unnecessarily – arrogant. Frankly Mr. Cromwell, your response seems overly sensitive. Back under your bridge sir, back under your bridge.

“Be nice, be tepid, be sweet, be bland, be dispassionate, be equitable, be even-handed, be undogmatic, be kind, be forgiving, be laid-back, be BORING . . . be . . . be . . . more like Caspar Milquetoast, MDN!”

Right, Gregg? Right, Charlie? Right, Rex? Don’t ruffle ANYONE’s feathers in any respect, right, guys? There’s never a reason for payback of any kind or measure when one has been the crap-fest target of the tech industry for over 30 years, right?

Well, sucks to be you folks when you visit this site, for passion, commitment, loyalty–and uncompromised love–for a company, its leaders, and its products remain intact and inviolable. Why not go somewhere else for your news if the editorial policies of this site offend you so? (Answer: Trolls, one and all, they like the smell of their own ordure.)

Feel better now, Gregg? High and mighty and superior to the rest of us?

Sorry, the above should have read:

What’s the difference between John Dvorak, Ron Enderle, CNBC talking heads, and MDN editors? Nothing, they’re all hit whores.

The MDN takes have gone from playfully snippy to dickish.

The DCW in reference to RIMM and the SIDAGTMBTTS in reference to Dell are accepted with a smile. These are both companies that were dismissive of Apple when Apple was an underdog. Everyone likes to see the little guy achieve great things and put the big boys in their place.

The problem is that Apple is now the big guy, and them getting their way because they are big is exactly the thing that you were against when other companies did it 10 years ago.

MDN, You don’t need to apologize for Apple’s dominance, but you don’t need to be asses either. Apple will (hopefully one day long in the future) be on the decline. When that happens, it will be nice to not have spit on every single person that wasn’t on the Apple bandwagon.

Yeah, the sense of Schadenfreude that permeates MDN is sometimes way over the top.
