> Your parent's argument is that when it comes to Apple on HN, their "fanboy rating" sits well beyond the bell curve peak.
And my argument is “let’s see the data”. Parent’s point is repeated ad nauseam yet I’ve never seen any evidence it’s not confirmation bias on the part of people who are anti-Apple. If this is such a glaring problem as cited, it should be provable. Either do it or please stop repeating an unsubstantiated unhelpful argument which only serves to divide further. Fanaticism doesn’t become OK when it’s anti something.
The onus of proof falls on whoever makes the claim. I’m not the one making unsubstantiated assertions.
> If not then your take is just another opinion
And I readily made that clear, by calling it anecdotal observation. All I’m asking is for the same courtesy and honesty.
> calling for censorship on either is futile.
Comparing a direct polite request to rethink if one’s opinions are based in fact or bias to “calling for censorship” is an absurd argumentative leap. It makes me wonder if you’re trolling.
Agreed.
