It's ad-hominems all the way down. He may be going for irony, but that snarky "In case you didn't know..." line kills it and veers back to targeting the person. (I know who JLG is. I just don't care.)



I never said JLG was wrong, either. Please read for comprehension.


I know what you said. You didn't say word one about him being wrong .. or right either. You just laughed. IMHO That is a strongly implied negative statement on his accuracy.

I found the article to be a quite interesting look at the way that these companies are doing business with and against each other, and how the media makes narratives out of it. There seems to be a lot of truth in it. What JLG uses to good effect in the article is insider anecdotes.

I'm not that close to Apple or JLG that I have strong feelings about either one's point of view, I'm more interested in how the same driving forces will affect everyone.

Do you agree or disagree with the substance here? Try engaging with that.

Bingo. Just because someone maybe didn't mean to imply something doesn't mean they didn't imply it.


I think Nixon's letter to Reagan was interesting and had a lot of truth as well, but that didn't stop me from laughing. I can't say I've seen any insight in what you've had to say, however.


This letter?

I didn't know I could find something stated so seriously to also be funny and insightful. Thanks for mentioning it, and here's to Tricky Dick.
