More class from Mac users

Ah, and now we have this gem posted:

With the truth being told (without all the flaming), his remark about your wife is right on, she is pretty unattractive. Not being mean, just truthful.

Not just a personal attack on me, but on my wife because, once more, of what I said about a piece of Apple software. Holy moly.

There’s something wrong with that — there really is. There’s just something wrong with people who get that upset, that angry, that nasty about comments about a piece of software.

You can call Windows users stupid, but compared to what I’ve seen come from the mouths and keyboards of Mac users, at least Windows folks have class.

And don’t try to tell me, “I’ve seen plenty of childish flames like that from people that prefer Windows,” as one person wrote. If I wrote that I didn’t like something about Windows, I’d get silence. If I said I preferred Toyota to Honda, silence. If I said Iiked chocolate instead of vanilla, silence.

But when I merely suggest that there are other good music players besides the iPod, the typical and predictable Mac fanboys’ fifth-grade flaming starts. It’s pathetic.

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating because skulls seem kind of thick around here: If you wonder why the Mac gets second shrift in the press (yeah, yeah, Mossberg this, Mossberg that), maybe it’s because so few people are willing to put up with this fanboy bullshit.

It’s a computer. Get a life.

(And we all know what’s next: “USA Today writer tells Mac users to get a life!!!”)
