I'm cashing in my chips.
This thread, Mac Zealot, and Link (not to mention the long gone JoeG4), are the last of me you'll see here on MacNN, if not for good, then for a damn good long while.
There are mods who "discuss" with each other that in turn say bad things about each other behind their backs, except for deleting other people's threads and replacing them with their own threads that they control every bit of content in...
Is this post even worth bothering to type? Probably not.. Is anyone even going to read it before one of the mods deletes it into oblivion? I have no idea, but I have my doubts.
It all started with a concept, you know, the one you probably saw in my sig a few times before you told adblock to block it because it makes you so mad.. how DARE someone disagree with the likes of Steve Jobs? Personally, I think he's an idiot to choose Intel, those dev kit machines are so "last moment" for "we've been making X86 macs since 1992!", so you can only bet that it was one of those ego-moves.
Of course, nobody accepted the idea, after all, this is the mac platform's big chance! Finally, you don't have to be bullied with special video cards or expensive hardware, after all, Dell and HP can't possibly be wrong! And finally, you'll be able to run Windows on your Mac, isn't that going to be awesome? No more VPC! Woohoo!
I bet you guys are preparing the "you're such an idiot I'm glad you're gone" responses already! Gee guys, hang on just a minute!
This community has eroded, lately every thread with a slight bit of irony or humor has been responded to with the "HA HA!" image, which I'm sure someone is going to stick in this thread, not to mention the timeline for complaining and ditching back when I was JoeG4, right? After all nobody gives a damn.
I'm not complaining, no the damage has already been done. By the time you read this post, I've ditched this place. The PMs to "change your sig, it insults me", or "You better shut up before you get banned" was enough. I won't say who, but I can imagine they'll be either the one that responds somewhere down here, or locks this thread to begin with, lol.
Still though, what's up with this place anyway? You guys aren't fans of the mac platform, you're just fans of yourselves.. you could care less if OS X was replaced with a $129 theme for Windows, in fact some of you people would probably APPLAUSE that sort of move, since all 95% of the computer-using population could use it, right?
Yet again, not that my opinion matters, right? Not that my setup pics matter, no, according to Lateralus, my setup pics "never change" and he's "tired of seeing that stupid setup your mom bought you"
And you know what? That's just fine. Think what you want, my credibility here fell apart anyway, after all what does a PPC-favoring, american-car-liking liberal that uses DSL instead of cable and lives on the west coast *AND* likes a *NINTENDO* gee, they make video games still? game so much that they used one of the characters as a username.. and a catholic liberal at that.. what kinda person like that deserves any credibility? None? Because nobody here agrees with me!
And apparently, I'm a lousy aruguer, and since every thread here either breaks down to sony vs microsoft vs nintendo, right vs left, republican vs liberal, HA HA vs +1, PPC vs X86, or OS X vs windows.. what the heck is the point? I always seem to fight the losing side anyway.
It doesn't really matter, again.. I'll be fine, I've taken enough insults and credibility breakdown before, you guys will get the last laugh on this one, but who cares?
Evidently enough people want to be around a community that disses:
*The "stupid liberals"
*People who don't like fox
*christians
*PPC fans
*Conformity avoiders
*People who live well, just about anywhere...
*People who own wood-frame houses
*People who own/like goods made in the US (or by companies founded in the US)
*Single button mice users
*People who don't like shapeshifter
*People who think BBX is full of air
Shoot, even people who died seem to get no respect anymore here.
So I'm well on my way to bannination, I suppose I'll print a screenshot of the locks underneath my username when it happens, and keep it as a reminder... of what, I have no idea.
Seriously though, what's with this place anyway? It seems to fall into the same mold I've seen so many places that eventually turned into giant worthless places fall into anyway.. It's owned by disattent owners who could care less but hand the responsibility of the well-being of the place over to morons like TookiMonster (in Lateralus' own words), or Lateralus.... or maybe one of the other +1ers who posted nothing but insulting garbage for a few years and managed to make it into the ranks of abuser or enforcer.
I'm outta here, and know I won't let the door hit me on the way out, I calmly took it down since well, a place full of savages needs no door anyway, enjoy your fox news and savage nation!
CAIO!
