Why the heck does Steve Jobs actually respond to users emails? It's like he gets a kick out of being a jackass to individual users and then reading the backlash when the email conversation spreads all over the internet.
I relate to it as another religious cult.
Reminds me of the South Park where David Blaine had his followers drown themselves in the reflecting pool.
Most just obeyed.... and that is your die-hard Apple user.
On the Apple fanboy forums they scold one another and make attempts to justify their anger by saying things like....
'I have been a loyal Apple user for 20 years and spent $$$$$$$$$ on your products but this one is the worst after I spent my hard earned money!'
So they feel that they can say something bad by emphasizing that they spent mega bucks on Apple, and most think that now this guy is entitled to make those comments.
However, when someone says 'I spent $200 on this with a contract and I will never buy again!' 10 fanboys jump on the person reminding them they can just return it, and so forth... and to 'get off the hate bandwagon' or some other phrase meant to belittle the person or label them as an Apple hater.
It's as if saying you spent mega bucks with Apple grants you the privilege of complaining.
It's as if your social status amongst the Apple fanboys is determined by your wallet rather than your views at times.
I guess it's like Scientology where you have to pay to play.
Apple.. Scientology... Hmm.....
