Either way, stooping to mocking the person's name instantly invalidates anything you have to say on whatever subject you're pretending to bring up.

 

So does saying "you mad bro".

I responded to Digler's hit piece with a specific, and thus far unrefuted, observation.

 

All you have is random anger.

 

If you don't wish to address the topic of this thread at all, that's certainly your choice.

 

Have a better day.

 

And all you have is hanging out on a site you have nothing but contempt for, belittling people you find foolish.  What kind of person does that?  A person with good mental health, a positive outlook on life, enthusiasm for the things they enjoy?  Or a bitter, cramped loser whose only pleasure comes from sniping, complaining, sarcasm, provocation, a contrived sense of superiority based entirely on an imagined status as an contrarian and just a generally sour outlook?

 

I can't say, just a thought.

I think he used that one before with me when he had another identity. Can't prove it without going to a lot of trouble.

@addabox, Once again into the breach . . . good work.

If only we could ascribe it to a psychological aberration, I would be happy to write it off, and forget about it. But, I have my doubts.

Just as a technical point, "passive-aggressive" involves being hostile by not doing something. So, deliberately mistyping someone's name isn't passive-aggressive, it's active hostility directed at Dilger. However, continuing to mistype it in replies to your posts where you essentially asked him not to, is an example of passive-aggressive behavior directed at you.

Can I use pussy-aggressive without getting an infraction?

I'd be more concerned about getting an infection.

I've rarely used the phrase anywhere, and am fairly certain that was the only time I've used it here.

 

Seeing folks get so intensely emotional about their need to bash every other company on the planet  made the use of it this morning simply irresistible.   ;)

 

Rest assured you're not likely to see that particular line from me again; it's on the order of "/s" and other cutie-pie forum conventions I don't often indulge in.

Why do you feel the need to alter what I wrote?  If you don't feel my words are provocative on their own, why misrepresent them with your own fanciful modifications?

 

You continue to display a vehemence completely unfounded by reason.  You're welcome at any time to rejoin the topic of this thread:

 

You seem to be deeply concerned that I see the author's view as desperate, so here's you chance to shine by showing us all what features in Android do you like so much as to cause your disappointment that they weren't featured in Samsung's event?

As for any content related rebuttals of this article I didn't read any. It was your reply to Flaneur that first caught my attention. I have, in the past, read your counter-arguments to Dilger and I can't say they have been objective or without personal attacks. Your continued warping of his name is passive-aggresive but it's still an attack.

Note that I've long defending that any salient argument one may have is weakened by the willful distortion of a name. For example, like using Samesung or Samscum. If you et al. can't see that then so be it but you're hurting your own argument and credibility when you do.

Good point.  You all mean so very much to me, and gosh, this must be the single most important place on the Internet, with so many corporate giants spending a presumed several million dollars paying people to post here - yes, I definitely want to get on your good graces.  Please let me try again so I can become as favored here as the many who write "Samscum" etc. and are celebrated heroes for it. 

 

 

For those of you who don't read much from the outside world, the author of this article (under any of the many names he uses) has a bit of a reputation for, shall we say, stretching to try to turn everything he finds into some sort of Apple vs The World battle.

 

In today's episode he tries to portray Samsung as somehow doing a disservice to Android by doing nothing more outrageous than simply focusing on the features which differentiate their new product from other Android phones.

 

One could start by wondering how an Android phone vendor's alleged attempt to "distract" from Android could have anything to do with Apple at all, which might begin to warrant giving it space on a site called "AppleInsider" (tip: AndroidInsider.com has openings for guest bloggers).

 

But even if we just chalk this up to the ever-increasing frenzy of coverage about all-thing-not-Apple here, what really is the author's concern here?  Why should he, or anyone else, expect Samsung to spend millions of dollars on a launch event only to play up the elements common to all Android phones?

 

In short, his article is a form of what some of the regulars here call "concern trolling".

 

He doesn't care about Google, or Samsung, and none of it has anything to do with Apple. 

 

In fact, it doesn't even make any sense at all.

I can't imagine anyone that, seeing the two phones side by side, would go for the GS4 over the One.  

 

Then, you don't have much imagination. The S4 is going to demolish the HTC sales wise, simply because of name recognition. Right now, carriers don't seem to care about pushing anything other than Galaxies, for one reason or another. There isn't a single carrier ad I've heard that doesn't include "We have the hottest smartphones LIKE THE GALAXY S3!!!", and this trend wil just continue with the S4. The HTC One X was a much better device, but that didn't make a blip.

I hope you don't think I'm one of those people. I'd like to think you've seen me speak out against such posters on this forum, regardless of how "favoured" they are.
