- And that person isn't me. In fact, I hardly said anything in this thread.
- All I see is you screaming PC costs too much and is a piece of trash.
- Most PC posters are simply correcting the massive amount of misinformation
- being spreaded around.

- Go ahead, be my guest, I doubt it can make you look less mature than you've

- I don't own a Mac, never claimed to know much about them, fact is, I never
- said anything about Macs that I have not personally experienced. However,
- I see some people who has never even seen, let along use OS/2, but love to
- flame it just for the puerile pleasure of ticking someone else off, if you
- get my drift, Edward.

- I followed this thread for the same reason I read comp.sys.amiga and comp.
- sys.next groups -- to learn more about other machines, I'd thought most
- people posting to Usenet were civilized, intelligent folks who only use
- reason and facts, even in heated discussions. Apparently I was mistaken.

- When I email someone, it's often to correct misinformation, in a polite
- manner. I've never called anyone a "kid" in a condecending manner, or a
- dumb jock, or...
-
- From my previous email correspondence with you, I doubt it'd be worth my
- time to get into any more discussion with you, feel free to get in the last
- word, I don't care. But I feel compelled to offer this friendly piece of
- advice: chill out man, it's only a computer. From the frequency and tone
- of your posts, I'd thought someone made a comment about the size of your...
- never mind.
