Hi I am JollySpace I am 13 years old and think Macs are really cool!
I am upset and down right bothered by the idea that there are a group of individuals that I have bumped into : on the vast regions of the Internet that do not share the same feelings towards Macs that I do and I would
like some clarification on the matter!
No! It only bothers me that people that never have used a mac hates them.
The thing about people is, well, they're people. They need to have something to belong to, something to call their own, to call home.
With most people, that comes in the form of countries, friends, cliques, clubs, religions, and even cults. When you have nerds who are too socially retarded to fit into any of those, they cling to what they have.
This is where Macfags and Windorks come from, and, in fact, fanboys of all sorts. They seek belonging, so they cluster together and form little, elitist subcultures of hatred, what started out as the preference of one thing over another turns into a deep resentment of the other.
It's a weird blip in human social logic, but it accounts for all the irrational flack you've been seeing.
Now, I'm not saying that this is the only reason someone might prefer a PC over a Mac, or vis-versa, but simply trolling and fanboyism is probably all that you're seeing.
Also, "fanboy" is not longer counted as misspelt in my browser. I wonder when that happened. :3
