Correct. Because it’s my job to prevent these topics devolving into “mac vs pc”, “xbox vs playstation”, “ios vs android” derailment.
That’s the long and the short of it. I’ll make this as clear as I can for you:
- your comment that the article had no value because the author is a fan of Apple, with no other content, is unwarranted and unnecessary, and, IMHO, disrespectful to the others who instead read the article and chose to give their opinions of that article (including myself).
If you are surprised that my reaction is significant when you choose to post a generic talking point on a thread, well, you haven’t been paying attention. If you decide that happens to be because I use Apple products, well, then I think you might want to a) look up confirmation bias and b) read my very very many transparent comments on moderation in this forum.
See, the whole problem with your post is I’d have had exactly the same reaction if you’d posted “I don’t care about this article because the author is a Microsoft fanboi” or Android Fanboi, or otherwise.
Frankly, if that’s all you can offer to discussions here, please take your comments elsewhere. We expect a higher level of discourse here, and I chose to respond to you rather than just flag you as offtopic because I felt I should be transparent as to my reasoning.
Lastly, this is the last I’m going to say on the topic here. If you want to discuss it further, 1) PM me, 2) start a new thread or 3) use the existing moderation thread. Thank you.
