From Macman--A little history lesson
Macman:
1. I come to this forum in search of more Mac-using supporters and post a topic informing them of my website.
2. I get moderate criticism for the layout of my site and several generous offers to help out.
3. One of the criticisms leads me to make an error in hinting that M$ makes hardware. I correct myself.
4. I see a topic called "fuck mac" and become angry.
5. I write a statement telling why i hate the sort of person who said "fuck mac".
6. This is misinterpreted by everyone who, for reasons beyond me, all thought i was talking to them.
7. psyjax, Calum (did i spell it right? do i care?), and Gunosto attack me, although at first psyjax seems to want to defend me in a backhanded, derogitory sort of way, he later turns on me as well.
8. I receive a series of rude messages full of hollow insults that really dont affect me. No one else seems to mind these messages.
9. Foolishly thinking that the world was even remotely fair, I return with messages that arnt nearly as rude.
10. Everyone attacks me and now i am hated throughout these forums.
Please tell me if this is fair or not and where i went wrong. I'm a little confused by this. Try to leave out words like MacMoron, MacMonkey, fuckwit, etc. (yeah, thats the level this is at.)
:confused:

Aw c'mon Macman.. You're taking this waaaaay too seriously. All those guys/gals will be your best buddy tomorrow.. People do tend to over react alot here. But it's usually not long lasting (unless your name is Gooseberry Clock). I took it very easy on you. If you were an M$ fan and not a Mac fan I would have jumped all over you (just because it's the appropriate thing to do on a site with this domain name).
If you lighten up a little, I'm sure everyone else will as well. And if you open your mind a little, similar to the way you want others to open their minds things will all smooth over. If you take more the attitude of anything other than M$ is good rather than there is no life beyond the Mac, you'll make lots of friends (even if you believe in your heart that there is no life beyond the Mac). Non-M$ people need to work together, not fight. I normally skip past the infighting, but will jump right in when it comes to bashing MS.

If they don't affect you at all, then why do you keep bringing them up? I, just like you, was angry over something someone said. Or did you forget that you, yourself, resorted to name calling in your initial response? If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
I'm pretty sure I've already explained (here and here) where you went wrong (in my opinion). If, after reading them again, you still don't understand, then I guess you're going to have to look to someone else for the answer. I don't know how to make it any clearer for you. Maybe you Mac people just speak a different language than us "pc losers" . . . but I doubt that's the case since I seem to be able to understand psyjax just fine and vice versa. Nonetheless, maybe one of you other Mac users could do me a favor and try to help Macman understand that not all pc users are "pc losers". Please?

Maybe VoidMain's right . . . I might've taken things a *tad* bit too seriously and for that, I apologize. I only seem to do that when posting in forums . . . never in the real world. Must be some ill effect of the annonymity that the Internet provides.
I used to be on the opposite extreme from you Macman. I used to hate Macs with a passion . . . not for any particular reason though. They were something I didn't understand and thus I avoided them. I still have yet to use one extensively, but ever since I started coming to this site my views have changed. Now I'm itching to get my hands on the new iMac and see if it deserves the high praise that people around here give it.
What we need to remember is that Microsoft is the enemy. Not PCs . . . not Macs . . . Microsoft. Hopefully one day you'll see the truth of that and be able to peacefully co-exist with us PC users.

why might that be do you think? is it because you insult almost everybody here at a stroke, and then backtrack claiming to be everybody's best friend?

oh grow up and put away the razor blades, it's not that bad, but if you expect me to be happy with you after you told me i should be run over by a bus, then you have another think coming, dickfuck.
Insults like that are way beyond friendly jibes such as the usual name calling that goes on here.
Many morons (count yrself in or out of that group as you like) make the mistake of thinking that the high name calling level here means that we somehow don't know what we are talking about. bullshit, it is all part of the banter, and if people are not mature enough to take it in the way it's intended, they usually get upset, telling the namecallers that we are the ones who should grow up. i say if you can't put up with a bit of namecalling then there's little hope for you in this world.
Now quite frankly, Macmoron (don't you love that phrase?) i couldn't give a fuck what names you call me, but unless you are a "mikie" or whatever you call it, don't bother trying to make any more enemies on this forum, you probably have enough already to be going on with.....
