    I dont know, im new here so I couldnt show. I am an upbeat soul brother with a positive flair for rhyming nicely and keeping it fair. I get angry sometimes and go off on things, nothing personal just happens cause of my binge eatings.

    Well I think part of it could be that everyone seems to be against Macintosh.

    Huh. All the same, it seems like a strange thing to post unless things were getting really bad. I hadn't noticed anything weird.



    BTW, is there another thread dedicated to discussing this? If so, I couldn't find it.

    It hasn't been just about Macintosh, although that's one of the contributing factors. Other's have included heated discussion about the Mormon faith, a thread wondering who's over 21 here (started by me, actually) which got a bit out of hand, and a few other threads that have taken a turn for the worse (or just flat out started that way)



    <a href="http://forums.appleinsider.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=6&t=000638"; target="_blank">This thread</a>, started by Peacekeeper (the ever-lurking but hardly ever posting, self-proclaimed un-biased arbitrator of AI) addresses all this, and soon after that thread was created, the admins released a statement on the main page.

    At the risk of inciting more ire, what's amazed me recently is that threads on stuff like Apple's new marketing campaign and QuickTime 6 have been almost ignored, but threads on Mormons and French Foreign Ministers run amok. Obviously in the big picture Macs aren't exactly what the universe revolves around, but, hey, it's a Mac site with a (mostly) Mac forum. Don't we have other outlets for some of this stuff?

    Its better than the bunch of snobs over at MacNN...



    Here there is a better general sense of freedom to express you oppinions...



    Here strange topics and unsubstantiated rumors are encouraged...
