What's wrong?
Posted by: joshc on 2007-05-15 06:24:27
Seriously, what is wrong with some of you people? I don't want to pick a fight or cause a huge argument. But looking at the Lounge...I see at least 5 topics about how much Windows/Microsoft suck. Yes, they do suck. But do we need to talk about it all the time and state the obvious? No.

The MLA is meant to be a community about the Mac, and other retro computers in general (since our main "focus" is on 68ks). At the moment, it's quite the opposite. It's a battleground for losers to poke fun at Windows and create huge topics about how much it sucks.

If that's all you have time to do, then you need a hobby, relationship or a job (put those together and you get what we call a "life"). Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but enough is enough and I think this has gone too far.

Agreed. If you need to bash Microsoft, how about merging it in to one thread. It's the very least we can do.

I don't have any of those things but I still don't bash platforms 😀

I just ignore topics which i am not interested in and let other people discuss what they want to discuss.

I think the anti MS topics are trolls. I have an Apple tattoo, a MacBook, LOADS of compacst, I use a Windows Mobile phone and own a XBOX. Microsoft is just a company, just like Apple, who make good stuff and bad stuff.... ok, the balance is slightly different but that is ok. After all, there is no good without evil 😉

i would get an apple tatoo, but at my current size and the size i WANT to be it will end up looking like a weird discolored zit.

I would have to agree that if we are gonna talk about how microsoft sucks, why dont we start a bashing thread

Someone did, but it got locked...

Right... new rule. No threads pointlessly bashing Microsoft or any of their products. Structured, analytical discussion is fair enough. If you're discussing a flaw in one of their products from an unbiased view then that's fine. But anyone saying "it's because MS suck" is going to get the thread locked.

End of story.
