There's an unreasonable amount of emotionally charged language in your post. This is Hacker News, not "call people uninformed barely-computer literate consumers and haters because they don't share your viewpoint news". Make your arguments in a civil manner, please.
If you write with the assumption that people who disagree with you are dishonest, liars, haters, etc., it's going to leak into your writing unless you are a particularly gifted writer--your phrasing and word choice will betray it. And people don't much like it when your entire schtick involves emotionally charged accusations against them. Which is why I'm not surprised to see either of those downvoted.
People are good at tagging, and ignoring, jerks. There's a decent amount of indirect jerkdom in both of those posts. I can't be surprised they got nuked, but I doubt it'd be because he's writing in defense of Apple.
