I'm calling your bluff.

The single submission you've made has been a link to a picture of Jobs in a 1984 motif - clearly negative about Apple.

You literally copy and pasted an anti-Apple comment so that it appeared multiple times for the same article. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1281192

So, looking over your past 30 comments here on HN, 20% of them are negative about Apple.

You wanted people to look at your history and your history shows a negative bias against Apple.

I was talking about this conversation thread, not my posting history in general. Yeah I don't like Apple, but in this particular thread, I said nothing negative about them at all. That's what I meant. I was just asking a question, "why is this relevant to HN", and now have lost almost 100 points of karma.

What does that say about this community? Nothing good in my opinion. But obviously, anyone who doesn't drink the Apple kool-aid doesn't have a valid opinion around these parts.

I expect to lose another 20 points of karma from this post. Have at it, sheeple.

Edit: Ya know what, after all this, I just don't see the purpose of participating in this site anymore. I was asking a perfectly valid question and received almost nothing but hate in response. Obviously I'm not welcome around here. I will send an email to HN to have my account deleted.

So long.

FWIW I up'ed your initial question but down'ed some of your replies. Not due to your views of Apple (couldn't care less..), but because you seem to be acting kind of silly and trying really hard to not understand how Apple's current performance, and it's implied future performance, wouldn't be news to hackers and startups.

If you're being genuine, there's no need to leave - just try harder to understand or ignore the Apple stuff. If not, whatever.

p.s. for someone calling others "sheeple" I just want to point out that you seem rather concerned and emotional over your karma, with karma simply being an average of how those around you tend to see you.

Sheep?
