Apple reaches A$2.25M settlement with Australian regulator over 4G iPad - Page 3

There is no doubt about someone being a mangy, low life, apple hating troll loser when they start proclaiming all their apple devices they have and use to spread apple hate.

I've noticed that myself. You know how you can nearly always tell the mid-level trolls? They start their posts with, "I'm an Apple fan, but…" Almost without FAIL the mid-level trolls do that.

The high-level ones are the Poes and the ones that keep making multiple accounts here once we ban them. The ones that can hide their hatred in coherently-written posts.

And the low-level ones are like slapppy where they openly declare their contempt.

We have a few of each around here right now.

We also have mods that, instead of giving an infraction to a poster that posts direct personal attacks and insults, and nothing on topic, would join in the name calling.

SMH.

So do your duty and report stuff you feel breaks the rules. We haven't seen as many reports as I'd like to see since the Huddler switch.

I've already explained why I personally don't handle these cases.

I think you're confused as to what my duty is. 

For starters, why don't all the whiners who are too afraid that someone can call them on their bs check the definition of an Internet troll. To their surprise they may find out that a troll is not someone who fails to conform to groupthink; it's someone who posts off-topic with the sole purpose to disrupt normal on-topic discussion. Kind of like when someone posts specifically to attack another user without being provoked.

Presenting an alternate view is not being a troll. you get that, right?

You'll notice I said nothing about anyone or post specifically. My statement was general.

My statement/description was in general also, and I stand behind it. What I described is a common thing around here; The average, everyday, ordinary, run of the mill android troll Comes to AI- spew's apple hate while claiming they don't hate them because they own products Apple sells. I realize that the mangy, low-life android loser, apple hating troll that comes here is a nuisance to most readers, and that those same mangy, low-life android losers should also be called out for being as much.

If you feel my general description was directed at you it is not my problem, for I am not the one who is the typical mangy, low-life loser android troll I speak of....

Rant much? If you are not a typical mangy, low-life loser android troll then what type are you? 

I'm starting to get the impression that you don't like Android :-)

I am a long time member who comes here as an apple enthusiast to read and discuss apple products. The mange that come here (BTW, this is an apple centric site) to bad mouth apple products are trolls. They are called out as such, and they smell as such...now, on to the ignore list for you

The ironic thing is that I don't even see Android mentioned in this thread except for your posts.

Doesn't have to be said. It's implied.

I think your ignore feature is broken? Might want to report that champ :)

Of course he is, his posts were nothing more than nonsensical rants.

My post was not nonsense, nor was it a rant I merely pointed out the obvious M.O. of many trolls here at AI. 

The nonsense is you butting in.

Ok buddy, time to put your tin foil hat back on.

Another good example of the Australian government looking after consumers :) http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-06-20/tpg-fined-242m-over-misleading-ads/4082454

This is what happens when companies want to use dodgy advertising in this country.

I doubt it plus the link I gave was an Australian company.

It's any company that wants to mislead people, not just the popular ones!
