How to really create a Flame War.

by guytaur1 - 3/18/10 5:08 PM

An Australian Journalist has done the Troll Baiting to get a Flame War going. He did it so well I thought It was worth sharing.

I wouldn't call starting a MAC/PC flame war impressive.

I mean how difficult is it to upset a person who overpaid for a piece of hardware based off of hype, sex appeal and the vague notion that it "just works?"

Macs suck.

Overpaid in your opinion. Just like people overpay for the Iphone.
Just like the preorders for the Ipad.
People pay for Apple because they like it.
Be that a Mac, Iphone, or Ipod.

To make you look less stupid know the difference between MAC (Media Access Control) and Mac (short for Macintosh). When you are describing a Mac as MAC then it makes you look like a n00b troll.
