    Another zero day troll joins the forum? I guess we’ll find out real soon.

    1) I will never understand why someone would sign up for a forum just to go after you for going after another person. I have no problem with someone coming to a rational defense of another but MightyApple comment is no way seems like he's defending joelsalt's position.

    2) I didn't think your comment was so subtle for anyone to think that "snail mail" can't be stolen (or that personal identification is safe if one were to even completely remove all online account, and I recommended confetti shredding all documents before throwing away) but perhaps you do need to go into more detail to make your position more clear.

    3) Calling joelsalt's comment assine is fine but calling him a jackass is a personal attack. I'd change that.

    Or possibly a sock account belonging to another current or former forum member. They could never permanently ban TEKSTUD in his many guises. :lol:

    Not a zero day troll Krupp, just a long time fan of the site who is fed up of the bullying and intimidation of certain forum members on here.  I', just pointing out I think your are out of line calling someone a jackass that's all.  You'll find alot of forum members have moved back to MacRumors due to the hostile attitude of the so called forum regulars on here.  Instead of welcoming new blood alot of people on here just bully them into never coming back  I'm all for a headed discussion but the level of hostility on here is shocking!

    MacRumors? The so-called Apple centric forum where the Apple haters far outnumber Apple fans? And yes, there is a hostile attitude for those who post nothing but negative slander about Apple here. Those are welcome to leave and go to MacRumors where they will be welcomed by the majority of like minded Apple haters. We had one of the most virulent Apple haters from C|net join here a few weeks ago. It took about a week before he was banned. If you want to make unfounded claims about Apple here you will be challenged vigorously. You will be pressed to provide evidence for your claims and criticisms. Your opinions will not be taken at face value and accepted without argument. I don’t consider that to be a hostile environment unless you think spouting nonsense without evidence to back it up is perfectly okay.

     

    And by the way, the user name you chose is a typical trollish moniker. Many are very skeptical of the motives of new members based upon their choice of user names. Just saying.

     

    As for the jackass comment, snarky responses are sometimes met with the same response. I was merely expressing my growing concern about conducting financial business online and that it would probably be safer these days to just put a paper check in the traditional mail. The responder’s snark implied traditional mail is just as perilous as an online transaction and that I didn’t know the difference. That’s being a jackass in my opinion.

     

    And as Forrest Gump would say, that’s all I have to say about that.

    Of whom, exactly? Let us know so that we can bully them more.

    HA! Going to MacRumors; that’s rich.

     

    Instead of welcoming new blood


     

    We welcome anyone with blood in their veins. A lot of newcomers tend to have something thicker flowing there, however.

     

    “What’re you…”

     

    Either gold or feces, depending.

    You’re slipping. You’re supposed to take a single random word out of context and append a question mark. You’re not supposed to show any cognition or involvement in the subject whatsoever.

    I've never heard that 110 million people's personal information got stolen all at once in the mail.

    If you're doing scheduled maintenance, give your users a heads up. If you're doing emergency maintenance, give your users a heads up. If your service has been attacked or hacked, give your users a heads up. If you want to hide something, don't give your users a heads up - but they'll find out later anyway.

    Ignoring Skils comments lkrupp I must apologise for being very aggressive in regard to your posts.  It was ill manoured and ungentlemanly but I mistakently took it you were bullying the original poster here.  I see now I was mistaken and hope you find my apology acceptable!
