Journal tps12's Journal: Lordy 7
My word. I guess I should have known better than to have spoken ill of Apple. Every comment of mine in the thread is now at 0 or -1. All I tried to do was suggest that perhaps Apple should offer a 2- or 3-button mouse as an option, and people went nuts.
I guess I had forgotten how irrational and quick-to-anger Mac zealots can be. But then again, I haven't been a Mac zealot since I was 13 or so, so that's not surprising.
Just to clear things up: Steve Jobs is not your mommy. He doesn't love you. He is a Big Bad Businessman, just like Bill Gates or Linus Torvalds. These guys aren't gods, so let's stop worshipping them.
Eh, well.

modded down in all your posts. Not really. I think
you got modded down mostly because of your history.
Also notice how your argument in each of your posts
was essentially the same. Blaming your resultant
loss of karma on the "Mac Zealots" pretty much
reduces you to zealot level yourself. This isn't a
conspiracy, you just decided to beat a dead horse
with a new stick.

Also, if someone has a problem with an old post of mine, he or she should mod it down, not mod down new posts that are completely unrelated. History already does affect new posts, via the -1/0/+1 Boni. Prejudiced moderation is not necessary, nor desireable.

True, but
And the pendulum swings both ways, as I've been
modded a troll for declaring I liked my Mac better
than my PC.

Vindictive "grudge" moderation is not as bad here as on other sites [plastic.com]. In my experience, people (and moderators especially) forget who you are after a few days of silence. The sheer volume of users and posts make it easy to be anonymous, especially when your username contains numbers.
