Did you try to post the same kind of thread there as you do here?

They'd rip you to shreds.

Why do you allow these sort of things to annoy you, Turtle? It's the internet, if he leaves there will soon be somebody else that annoys you. This post probably annoys you.

Nah, I guess I have certain standards. It annoys me when people don't.

Do you have standards ?

The question is, are there standards that we'd all agree on? Sometimes I find BadKosh's posts to be idiotic, but I don't think he should be prevented from posting. Put in his place maybe, but the internet is good at doing that too.

I do have an American Standard though:



I'm even allowed to call it mine, because I'm an American, and I have constitutional rights to tell you that you stink.

Makes sense. Canadian Standard is probably just a beam for the outhouse.

I figure the opposite. I doubt American Standard can handle maple logs.

besson3c, the toilets fit Peter perfectly; he likes to drop and run.

I say roll with it.

What if I was sort of serious? Don't close my account, btw... I'm doing my best. Don't like MacRumors so much, these days. Think they are corrupt, more of an AppRumors website, with lots of betrayal. No? Do you read this regularly? Was a happy debate sometimes... Read rumors websites for decades really, back to the golden days of MacOSRumors, ThinkSecret was not so good. Okay. Now what? Think it is a news website with an emphasis.

Any news? Any thoughts? Don't just ignore my intentions. Doing my best to improve things as they are, don't forget. Isn't there a serious damage for Apple? It's a worldwide webpage now, don't forget. It's read everywhere. Arn, or whoever, is probably rich. I read it sometimes, even, to buy new Macs or so - I think it's totally mistaken. Not only can't they tell the truth, they often misjudge situations, they lie, invent, quote without care etc. How to judge this? The design is ugly, too.

I don't know. I'm still a "Mac person". I'm about to give my iMac to my sister, I think I get an iPhone and an iPad, but I want to use a PC laptop for work, what else is there to do? Hmm...

Peter

MacOSrumors used to just make stuff up all the time.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

MOSR was excellent early on - I remember basing my purchasing decisions on the rumored forthcoming iMac configs, configs which then turned out to be 100% correct - but then apparently lost their sources and pretended they still had them.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.
