I recently got my 15 GB iPod from Dell.com, and I was looking into writing a review of it on Epinions.com. So i went and looked at some of the reviews that were already posted just to see what the flavor of the reviews were like.

... and i came upon this one.
http://www.epinions.com/content_100915056260

This guy claims that he is an objective reviewer, not a mac fanatic, or a windows moron, but spends the entire review poking fun at Mac users and their stupid buying decisions in the iPod.

Its one huge rant where he makes fun of mac users and ultimately concludes (big surprise) that the iPod is not a great mp3 player.

I responded (scroll down and click the links to view the Comments. I'm iBen), correcting every single one of his flawed arguments, but he essentially blew me off, dismissed me as a mac user and called me names.

Normally I'd let something like this go, but I'm in such a good mood that I thought that we can all enjoy seeing this guy do his mac-bash thing.

This guy is a real joker. He's posted a fair amount on the macworld and macaddict forums. He claimed to be a mac user, but spent all of his time bashing macs and mac users (calling them morons, idiots, etc etc -- a real nice guy). He has also been caught out in many lies (saying he works for a company that would supply him with a powerbook, when in reality he is a high school kid). I doubt he even has an iPod. Don't let him get to you.

Where's that "Arguing on the Internet is like the Special Olympics" .jpeg when you need it?

People like that are why I stopped going to the Lounge.

The lack of features for the iPod is ridiculous. It lacks a FM Tuner is a huge thing. Most MP3 players on the market have it

stupid people!
