Are you telling me that you haven't experienced the cult. I have witnessed over and over posters being marked Flamebait anytime someone dares to have the audacity to say anything even remotely negative about Apple. I have owned 4 macs and currently own 2 amongst all of my hardware. One runs OS 6 and the other is a dual G5 with Linux. I have also experienced en mass the cult of Mac and there is a serious difference between a user and a member of the cult. Making misguided assumptions is even dumber than whatever it is you think I did.
I didn't say YOU WILL NOT, I said I don't think you will. I made a generalization about a culture. I believe that Apple is starting to develop a culture that is the opposite of open and free. People who are members are guilted into not speaking out. I believe we need to address this with our pocket books and by calling it on the table when we see it.
In this case someone believes that they can stop the way things are going at any time but they'll go ahead and wait until things get worse before they actually do anything. They won't. No one ever does.
BTW I don't live in my basement, don't have TV (or watch Star Trek for the matter), I don't game, I hack Linux, Windows, Mac, FPGAs, embedded systems, have friends, live at ski resort, and live and play outdoors everyday. If you had a point with your statement about who you are and how easy your little feelings are hurt it was irrelevant.
I call you out, as you did yourself, as an Anonymous Coward. Please fell free to change out your I-Pad at anytime.
