My, aren't we sensitive? AFAIK, no one has referred to PC users as blashemers, or recommended that they be rounded up and punished. All that has been questioned has been the efficacy of the product and the veracity of the marketing claims.

In any case, I think you have your analogy inverted: it is the defenders of PCs (no apostrophe, you'll note) who should likened to the Flat Earthers, as they are the ones who are operating on the basis of faith (as in religon). The Gallileans in this argument are those who question PCs, because they are the only ones whose arguments are consistent with established facts.


You have it backwards. The Flat Earthers were the ones of faith. THe Church preached that the earth was flat. Galileo had the NEW idea that the earth was round.

You think I was being sensitive? Have you ever heard of humor? OR, do they not teach that in your textbooks? Lighten up, Chuckles....it's supposed to be a joke!
