Ever notice something about Mac VS PC flame wars?

The mac peoples side of why PCs suck almost always is a better argument than the PC user's. Most often times the mac users grammar and spelling is better. example pulled of a website where the "why macs suck video was hosted"

PC advocate: MACS sucks, cuase theyre retared, PCs are bettter!
Mac advocate: Macintoshes are better because of all the software and features included with them, and thier os is based on rock solid Unix, and it's GUI want made for toddlers like XP's is.

When making a post about how a Mac users grammar and spelling are much better, you may want to use an example where they don't make spelling and grammatical errors.

The Mac-haters tend to use poor grammar and lots of obscenities and generalizations, while the Mac proponents tend to be much more reasoned in their support of the Mac.

I contribute to a blog called Gadgetopia, and one of the guys posted about that that video a while back. The discourse has been interesting to say the least.

The thread you link to seems to show the PC side is still "stuck on stupid" by repeating the same worn out claims over and over, and not paying any attention to the other side. Of course the mac users are guilty of the same thing, but to a much smaller degree. They still pull the "marketshare" FUD about the virus situation. They still pull the software availability being limited to "Apple-provided only" FUD. They still pull the MHz Myth FUD. Then they pull the cost of purchase FUD, while clearly ignoring the TCO of virus scanners and security software.

It gets tiring reading the same debate over and over. That's why I don't read /. much anymore... Fanboys on both sides never learn anything from the endlessly circling arguments.
