More Priceless Mac-User Comments

This is so funny I have to share it.

Jeremy Bolton, Defender of All Things Mac, wrote:

Again, Mr. Kantor, you have made a rather sizable mistake that cannot
go uncorrected. Hmm, let’s see, one brand of anything with that kind
of market share? Check out Microsoft’s market share of the PC
operating system market. Or their share of word processor software.
Or, well, you get the idea.

I take it you have decided not to write about or even mention Apple in
any more of your columns. If you are even considering that course of
action, you are right, you should not write about Apple anymore. You
have backed down and we have won.

1. You gotta love the word “Again.” See, it implies that I’ve made a ‘rather sizable” mistake before when discussing Macs. I haven’t, but by tossing that in it makes it seem that I have. You should go into politics, Jeremy!

2. I have backed down and they have won? Huh? Because I’ve joined with other tech writers in not writing about the Mac, they’ve won. [blink blink] The logic here is… stunning. The fewer people who cover them, the better?

If Mr. Bolton was a widget-shop owner, I can imagine him telling a customer who refuses to buy from him, “I don’t want you to shop here! That means I’ve won! Hahaha!”

Incredible.

In a follow-up note, he said, “You’re more alone than you realize.”

Huh? Is he copying comments from some strange phrase book? What’s next, “Your attitude will only attract more moths to the dying embers”? Maybe, “Your opinions are like those of a duck. Yellow now, but large and with a green head later.”
