All verbatim simply because apologists brazenly deny whatever they _hate_
about Apple (which turns out to be a lot of facts they hate about Apple).

"Products from Sonos, Bose, Logitech pulled from online store"

rivals including Sonos Inc., Bose Corp. and Logitech International SA
as the company gears up to launch its own new audio products"

Who cares?

Are those manufacturers automatically entitled to be sold in Apple's
stores, Arlen?

Is any non-Apple manufacturer automatically entitled to be sold in Apple stores?

...er, should read: Apple has Bose, & Logitech covered with AirPods, and the entire Beats lineup which has been an Apple product for a few years now.

1. I am not in denial
2. I don't hate Apple.
3. I don't hate "a lot of facts" about Apple.
4. I think the reported move is a good one.
5. I don't deny that the report is true.

That would seem to prove I am not an "apologist"! Wow.

Unless an apologist is someone who thinks "Arlen" has his head up his ass.

Hi John McWilliams,

You apologists hate you're so simpleminded as to be trivial to predict.
o It's why you fall for admittedly brilliant Apple MARKETING after all.

I've dealt with you many times before John McWilliams.
o All you infantile apologists are children of the same mindset.

You hate people who speak facts instantly DESTROY your imaginary beliefs.
o People who speak facts are a dire _threat_ to your very self image, John.

> 2. I don't hate Apple.

Ah, but you do. :)
o It's why apologists literally _hate_ many facts about Apple products.

You deny these facts; you minimize these facts, you ignore these facts...
o Because you _hate_ that facts belie Apple MARKETING isn't "the truth"

Most of you apologists are so viciously against facts about Apple...
o You attack the mere messenger...

As you just did.
o Fact scare you so much that you're afraid of the messenger of facts.

> 3. I don't hate "a lot of facts" about Apple.

Again, you don't realize it's why you're so ignorant of Apple facts.
o You _hate_ the truth about Apple products so much you deny it.

> 4. I think the reported move is a good one.

What reported "move"?

> 5. I don't deny that the report is true.

The apologists have denied that throttling occurs; they've claimed Apple
hasn't admitted they throttled on purpose; they claim the batteries made
them do it (secretly so); they claim there have been no exploits of Apple
chips; they claim the cameras are top notch when they can barely make the
top dozen in quality of results; they claim functionality for Apple
products that simple doesn't exist, etc.

Apologists do this why?
o I don't know why.

I know that they do it all the time.
o Want zillions of references proving that statement, John McWilliams?

> That would seem to prove I am not an "apologist"! Wow.

The apologist in you, John McWilliams, is that you _hate_ what Apple is.
o It's why all you apologists say what you say on this newsgroup.

What you want is to desperately believe in what Apple "says" it is.

> Unless an apologist is someone who thinks "Arlen" has his head up his ass.

All you apologists are afraid of anyone who speaks facts about Apple
o I accept the fact you are deathly scared of me, John McWilliams

It's why you attempt your childish personal attacks of me, John.

Because I speak facts.
o And you have absolutely zero adult defense against facts, John.

It's good you hate me, John McWilliams, because we're not evenly matched.
o What you hate about me, John, is that I understand who you are.

You, John McWilliams, are perfectly well described here, in fact:
o What are the common well-verified psychological traits of the Apple Apologists on this newsgroup?

That's not an "apologist". It's a person with an actual brain that they
use at least some portion of (unlike Arlen Holder). Of course, a person
who uses their full brain would have killfiled the moron ages ago and
not bother replying to that idiotic troll.

What I love is how the apologists, like "Your Name" prove me right!
o They all _hate_ anyone or anything that brings facts to the table

Whenever they hear facts - they literally attack the mere messenger of fact
o Notice - They have absolutely no adult response to the actual facts...

Why do apologists like Your Name attack the messenger of (verbatim) facts?
o I don't know why.

I suspect they actually all _believe_ the cultist ideals MARKETING portrays
o It's clear anyone bearing facts is a grave _threat_ to these apologists
