Apparently your head didn't withstand impacting your keyboard. There appear
to be a number of operational anomalies.

Huh? An Xbox caught fire that killed a baby, Edwin:

MS? They blame the family for "abusing" the Xbox, but they don't
specify how to abuse an Xbox so it will set your house on fire and
kill your newborns.

Who on earth would iMojo need protection from? You and the other

Alan Baker's stepfather and biological father could be simultaneously
alive?

I'll get the ball rolling:

"Anglesey fire and rescue spokesman Dave Evans confirmed the fire was
caused by a "fault in an Xbox game machine" left on standby. Back in
February, Microsoft recalled 14.1m Xbox power cables shipped into
Europe before 13 January, 2004 and in other territories before 23
October, 2003, as we previously reported. MS admitted to "30 or so
reports from users suffering minor burns, singed upholstery or
scorched carpets as a result of power lead malfunctions". "

iMojo didn't have any reference to back his claims. That shows he made it
up.

There's no way that could be. Your father doesn't lose his fatherhood if
your mother remarries. You can't have a father and a step-father
simultaneously.

You failed to provide any more stories of house fires. No "ball rolling"
here.

That's MS response. They have made no other clarification of the
situation than the above. That's just a claim. The actual family
claims that this isn't true, obviously.
MS doesn't even, as I pointed out, describe how one would "abuse" an
xbox to make it catch fire and kill your newborns.

Ah, one house fire with the death of a newborn is ok, but two would be
awful? :-D

stepfather
noun
a man who is married to one's mother after the divorce of one's
parents or the death of one's father.

You're lying again. Pointing out lawsuits from Apple's loyal customers
isn't "jumping on any lawsuit," especially when the ones I pointed out were
settled or ruled in the plantiffs' favor.

Microsoft isn't just making claims. They're taking this to court.

That's what passes for humor with you? You're sick in the head... not that
anybody needed to be told that...
Nobody said it was "okay." You haven't proved that the XBox was
responsible for even one house fire, all you have is a disputed claim.

I dont' care what you accept. That is the definition of the word.
That's from the Oxford American Dictionary.
American Heritage Dictionary
step·fa·ther
n. The husband of one's mother and not one's natural father.
Webster
step·fa·ther
Function: noun
the husband of one's mother when distinct from one's natural
or legal father
WordNet (r) 2.0:
stepfather

The family is taking it to courts. MS just have to follow. What their
"proof" will be is yet to be shown. The fir department has already
isolated the Xbox as the cause of the fire. MS now has to prove this
supposed abuse the family exposed the xbox to that they knew would
make it burst into flames and kill their newborn.

Naturally. And just as naturally, we'll never see you provide a
definition from any source that agrees with you...
But that's OK, I don't mind helping with your English:
"Step-Relative
A relative by subsequent marriage
Step-father
The husband of one's mother by a subsequent marriage."
<http://www.searchforancestors.com/utility/relationshipterms.html>
"Stepfather
Husband of a persons mother by a later marriage - not their natural
father."
<http://library.christchurch.org.nz/FamilyHistory/Glossary/>
"S: (n) stepfather (the husband of your mother by a subsequent marriage)"
<http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=stepfather>
"Traditionally, a stepfamily is the family one acquires when a parent
enters a new marriage, whether the parent was widowed or divorced. "
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepfather>
"Main Entry: stepfather
Pronunciation: 'step-"f-[th]&r
Function: noun
: the husband of one's mother when distinct from one's natural or
legal father"
<http://m-w.com/dictionary/stepfather>
"?step-father, *?step-mother nouns
the husband, who is not the person's father, of a person's own mother,
or the wife, who is not the person's mother, of a person's own father"
<http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/step-father>
"step-parent
noun [C]
the man or woman who is married to someone's mother or father but who is
not their real father or mother"
<http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=77963&dict=CALD>
And straight from the printed copy of the Concise Oxford English
Dictionary:
"step- pref. denoting nominal relationship analogous to one specified,
resulting from remarriage of a parent"
Gee, Edwin, not *one* of all those references says that you can only
have a step-father if one's regular father is dead.
Life is bad when you shoot from the hip, isn't it, Edwin? I guess it was
more important to you that you find a way to claim I must have been
lying than to actually -- you know...
...be correct.
