"You're too cheap to buy Macintoshes therefore your arguments are invalid" doesn't have a lot of nuance to it.
You wrote those words not me.
Whereas you said - "Apple stuff has it's uses but the Macintosh segment is just pure hipster catnip" and this is obviously a perfectly nuanced statement so please excuse me for failing to understand why your trolling gets a pass.
"I like the way that because I'm frugal I'm disallowed from commenting on the Macintosh and it's userbase though. Ignore the poor person! He doesn't buy enough expensive shit so his opinion doesn't count somehow!"
I did not write these words either so your own piss-poor reading comprehension is where the fault lies.
"Until I start choking on the miasma of smug emanting out of those wretched hellholes"
WTF? Perhaps this is another nuanced piece of prose.
"Yep, illerate. So this selectively quoting out of context strawman thing, is it working for you or just easier than actual argument?
You have not advanced any arguments. All I see here in your posts is vitriol.
I have quoted myself to help you to understand what I actually did write (as opposed to what you went on to invent)
"You may not like Apple stuff much and your opinion is ok by me except right at the point after you proudly confess that you have never paid more than £400 for a computer. You will surely be able to see that Apple don't make anything for you. They do make stuff that many people find attractive and useful and price point aside, your position is an invalid argument."
My first point was that with such a low budget (you appeared to be bragging about it as a badge of honour) and Apple not selling machines at that price point, you were unlikely to find anything to suit you, even if you were prepared to cut the folks at Apple some slack. My second point was people do find value in purchasing Apple products despite your opinion. I sought to make the point because you appeared to think that your opinion was the only one worth considering. Given your description of the "Macintosh segment" and seeing that you based it upon your obvious dislikes, I pointed out to you that your position was not a sustainable argument, given that it was invalid.
