Well, even if that were true, I simply see not very much posts from linux
users in mac-groups. Posts from Mac-cretins in linux groups (and not just
advocacy, but general groups as well) are there in abundance.
I'd say this talks volumes abbout the maturity of posters, and mac users
seem to be very immature in comparison

I don't see any of that either. And someone who does say nothing silently
agrees with this idiocy. It is as simple as that.
I have *often* openly declared my disagreement with other linux posters, and
others have done this as well. It is actually quite common
I have never seen any disagreeing post from Mac users regarding your
resident retards. Not once. So I have to conclude you agree with their
actions

Not to use X as windowing system is by far the worst idea apple could come
up with. It is totally braindead
And no, don't even start to argue that you can add X to OSX
Because then you break evewn more the so often mentioned argument about
"integration" and "ease of use" and what not what the apple should have
And in reality does not, not more than windos or linux has

It is a big deal. Because the apple retards always argue that OSX is the
biggest selling Unix there is. This is a bald lie. OSX is not Unix, no

Well, you can't read, obviously. Above I stated that OSX is a unix-like
system, like linux and BSD

OSX is not Unix. No matter how good you can use unix-apps
Linux can as well, and BSD can also. This is certainly not a point where

It does not. It is just worthj mentioning regarding the often repeated
claims of OxReatrd and TravelinIdiot
They have been corrected dozens of times, yet they still repeat this
bullshit. It really seems it takes an especially dimwitted retard to use
OSX. Do you guys have to practice being that dumb, or does it come natural?

No. Because it is by far the most flexible system.

Well, I don't start these incredibly stupid articles in a group having
nothing to do with it. It takes idiots like Oxford for this. It seems Mac
users have more than their fair share of cretins among them
