    Apple kooks

    Arlen fails to address the subject with any real points, yet again. Ad
    hominem name calling is all you have, trollboi. Just sad.

    I love to _study_ you strange Apple kooks, Jolly Roger.

    You Apple kooks brazenly fabricate _anything_ to defend Apple to the death. Your _entire_ life, Jolly Roger, is a pipe dream fed to you by Apple itself.

    That's why you vehemently hate me, Jolly Roger.
    I understand why you hate me, Jolly Roger.

    Every fact about Apple from me instantly _destroys_ your belief systems.
    That's why I actually pity extremely low IQ people like you, Jolly Roger.

    You don't own the intelligence that God gave adults for independent thought.

    You didn't snip away Jolly's first sentence for no reason. There were
    only two! Was it because that one contained "Arlen"? Something else?

    I love to study creepy trolls.

    I'm a Linux kook. Got a Macbook Air at a Black Friday price because I
    wanted my first laptop, and it was about time to experience what a Mac
    is. And I wanted that M1 chip. And I had hundreds in Best Buy Rewards to
    spend, on something, before they expired. The hardware is pretty good.
    Mac OS is pretty good. The Ryzen desktop with Manjaro Linux and KDE
    Plasma is still the best.

    So, you must not understand why everyone in the Win10 group hated
    "Arlen". It's the same reason.

    Not if he's a Windozer. Is he? You sure were. Still? Absolutely must be,
    you thought Win10 was *forever* and pounded out THOUSANDS of Win10
    tutorials, to be archived forever and ever. And everafter. THOUSANDS!
    And still, everyone in the Win10 group hated "Arlen".

    Arlen's list of nyms is ever-growing. He creates them regularly - often
    in the same thread, like this one, he'll create several, even replying
    to his own posts with them - all just to troll. The old fart literally
    spends hours and hours every day trolling.

    It's on point that he responded to someone calling him out for ad
    hominem with more ad hominem. He's a lame troll with no game.

    I love to study creepy trolls.

    Arlen's one of the creepiest on Usenet.

    For some definitions of "best", sure. macOS has its own strengths. Use
    the best tool for the job.

    Arlen seems to think he knows who I am, repeatedly claiming I supposedly dropped out of high school, failed a GED test three times, and never
    went to college (all laughable). He also doesn't know that I have worked professionally in the software development and silicon design fields for
    over two decades, and am paid well as a systems architect, where I work regularly with and write enterprise software Linux servers as well as
    Windows and macOS systems. ; ) Arlen can't fathom that people who are knowledgable about technology would use Apple products. His strange,
    little Apple hate boner precludes any such notion. He lives in a tiny,
    dirty, little Apple hate bubble. It's sad.

    Somebody summed Arlen up with "imperious", just the perfect word if you
    can choose only one.

    Did you read some of his crazy tutorials? So repetitious and tedious.
    And always flubbed! With thousands of re-dos coming through the
    pipeline, THOUSANDS. And he imagined them as treasures to be
    preserved as some "tribal knowledge".

    At least he isn't bland. Creepy is fun to watch.

    Impervious? Definitely. Also dumb as a rock, and extremely disturbed - a
    sad combo.

    Yeah, he does that in the Apple newsgroups, too. And when someone
    inevitably comments that they can accomplish the same goal more
    elegantly and with much less effort, he reacts by slinging insults and
    making up bullshit reasons his way is supposedly so much better. He
    doesn't fool anyone who knows better, but that doesn't stop him from
    repeating himself over, and over, and over again - he lives to read his
    own words.

    Impervious probably too.

    But
    * https://www.dictionary.com/browse/imperious
    domineering in a haughty manner; dictatorial; overbearing:
    * https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/imperious
    marked by arrogant assurance : domineering

    Where is he? Arlen isn't being imperious now if he's so easily driven
    out of a thread. The coward.
