But that's not what this subthread is about. It
was about different people having different priorities. fsociety remarked (quite correctly) that there are a
large number of people who constantly feel the need to denigrate Macs, no matter the context—and you came in and said, basically, "That's not true. I have a Mac, and I don't like it very much."
Were those your words? No, but it sure sounded like it was your implication. You didn't just say they were overpriced (which would be a common complaint, but these days needs a lot more citation, given their extremely good performance per watt, and overall build quality). You said they were ridiculously overpriced, which implies that no reasonable person could look at one and think it was worth buying.
You came into a subthread that pointed out that there are people who like to gratuitously hate on Macs, and you tried to paint it as being the opposite, while damning them with, at the very best, faint praise.
