    I wish it were not so, but the matter is out of my hands.

    Thanks for another troll post, I'm compiling a top 10 -  I have 3 others from you, keep the great work up!

    Seriously? Are you that fucking dense? Thank GOD people like you don't work for, or are apart of, Apple, cause they wouldn't have survived past 1997.

    I seriously have no clue how you're still allowed to post here. Seriously, you have like 6,600+ posts of this kind of troll trash. You'd think after 5,000 or so the mods would get the hint. 

    You've also been caught in at least a dozen lies, all made for the sake of trolling. And you still haven't responded as to why you still own Apple stock, when you're so down about every single aspect of the future of the company. No sane investor would keep their stock with your views. So are you lying about your claims of being a shareholder? And if so, why would you lie about that? 

    Wouldn't you just love to be friends with a guy like this in real life? /s He'd be a real kill joy 24/7!

    Maybe the mods have determined that Frost's posts are good for clicks? He stirs things up (thankfully, no longer for me since I've blocked him) and gets people angry enough to respond...

    IMO, the best course to take is block and ignore.

    Too bad blocking douches like him still show nested responses of other posters who quote his BS :(

    seriously don't waste your time replying to Frost.  The best thing to do is ignore him.  I've been responding to him the last few weeks and its an utter waste of time.  He is a flat out troll and just wants a negative response from people

    I think he'd fit in perfectly over at BGR or MacRumours, can we force him out of here, and put him out there?
    You're right, it's so far out of your hands (and your realm of knowledge) that you aren't even qualified to make a sales prediction.

    He's not even qualified to take a guess about what a cloud in the sky is going to do next!

    I might agree with you, except for the fact that he has 6,600+ posts, so I don't see any scenario where he would shut himself down, unless he's banned. This is a relentless troll that tries his best to destroy every thread he enters, spewing the same garbage over and over. I ignored him for his first few thousand posts, but when I saw the mods did not take action after unequivocal evidence that he's nothing but a 2 bit troll with no interest in any kind of honest discussion, I couldn't continue letting all his glib lies and trash go unanswered. 

    Same here Slurpy... I usually try to avoid dipshits like him, but the BS he spews is sometimes such a blatant lie, that I just cannot let it go unchallenged.

    What we need is feature that when people quote someone on your block list, the nested comments get blocked too. I wrote a javascriptlet to do that, but it only works locally on my machine. It needs to be implemented at the server. 

    YES!!!

    Oh look, the resident BF groupie. Funny how you only pop out from under your bridge to give him other trolls a high five. Honestly, I think you're even worse than him. At least BF injects the occasional (by occasional, I mean 1/500 posts) of humor. You, your posts are just all 100% nasty, vitriolic bile against Apple. I really do wonder about people like you, who register and religiously post on sites dedicated to products they passionately despise.

    Perhaps, haven't made a final decision yet. I was initially leaning toward passing on this one since I don't wear watches and it is sort of ugly in my opinion, however if I do get one it will be the sport model. I'd rather have next year's thinner and lighter version, but if other Apple products are any guide, I would be able to resell V1 for a pretty good price anyway, so it not such a risk. I would definitely not buy the more expensive models because they don't offer any additional features like there is between the high end and low end of other Apple products.

    All,

     

    Yes...please flag his posts.

    For those suggesting just blocking him...we would then be shirking our responsibility in our discussions/search for TRUTH. If those of us who know he is spreading lies and FUD just ignore him, we are allowing him to frolic unimpeded amongst the other (more naive) readers.

     

    If all a poster does is post: apple sucks, the watch sucks, sales will suck, Tim Cook sucks, future sales will suck, etc.

    Then he/she should be banned.

     

    This is what BFrost is doing.  Please ban.

    All the rumors of production and delivery problems could very well be started in Cupertino.  Why not build the hype even higher and making having a watch early an even more big deal?

    Friends? That's a big assumption. He probably has no friends.

    Why would you be considering it if it’s sort of ugly?

     

    You have very low standards. Perhaps you're used to using Windows.

    When you say "stupid ass" and offend others, you break the forum rules.

    Now guess who should be banned?

    Learn something, kids: having a different opinion does not mean being a "troll". I love Macs and iPhones, but I hate the AWatch, the Beats purchase and the idiotic decision to distribute dividends.

    Get it or is this still too difficult?

    Weren't you banned before, "Slurpy"? You keep breaking forum rules when offending others...how can you still be around?

    Apple users used to be more demanding than this, I will give you that. But since Boot Camp was launched, we end up seeing heresies like buying a Mac to use Winblows...so no surprises anymore.

    Considering the intent to likely resell, I'm thinking the sport model is the worst investment. With a glass crystal, and aluminum case, I'm not expecting it to hold up very well to extensive use. Unlike an iPhone that usually gets carried in a case, so as to be virtually brand new-looking upon resale. For that purpose the basic stainless is probably warranted.

     

    As for the even more expensive models, you clearly have no affinity for gold, or the need to impress people with how much disposable income you have, or your ability to secure a limited, exclusive product.

    If it’s like past products, then midnight seems likely.

     

    And if you're keen to see the time accurately, just check the clock that comes preinstalled on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, and you can decide whether to order another $17,000 clock to supplement the ones you already have. <img class=" src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />

    But doesn't at least a night out with the sweaty "top model" Christy Turlington come with every Apple Edition? :D

    You'd hope so for that price!

     

    I trust one would get to dine her in non-sweat mode. :)
