The double standard enforced on this thread against bears or anyone who has anything negative to say about Apple is quite palpable.

Its rather like the platform itself. Closed and proprietary.

Welcome to the reality distortion field, my friend.

I disagree with that statement.

"without anyone actually mucking up the works with facts"

Well, I think that I would say more precisely untrue, erroneous and inaccurate facts, but I hope Allen bans you NOW because you have become quite disruptive and I for one am tired of you clogging up what used to be very civil (you would say mindless fanboys, I think) discourse on this thread.

I will accede to your request, while pointing out that you aren't the lone dissenting voice.

Sayonara.

> What we're talking about here is not being able to tolerate a dissenting voice.

Not true. From time to time here I've been a dissenting voice in the minority.

And you'll note I agreed with some of your contentions although I didn't always agree with your conclusions and predictions.

I have no OS bones to pick and have repeatedly stated that my iMac is probably my last Mac, I also have an open mind about Android for me personally. I originally thought I'd get one, then not, and now maybe.

I try to separate the facts from the people. I've learned a lot here though so if someone has more knowledge than me I listen. At least I hope to learn and listen.
