I wish you to show more respect toward people who are concerned with freedom and importance of freedom to use their own devices. At least they should not be treated with less respect than people from Apple who's decisions are protected by you in every opportunity so far while in my opinion their decision to keep devices hooked to them keep owners as hostages as correctly was noted in the parent post . It is hard to understand why you are ready to attack people advocating for the freedom of the owner (including your freedom) while you are extremely polite toward Apple people and their decisions in the same time even if those decisions are obviously made not in favor of the owner.
>and the people who write them invariably refuse to listen to any explanation ...
Actually I was listening very carefully and I was ready to continue listening even after you've took discussion toward being personal and disrespectful ( let's assume by mistake/misunderstanding)[1].
Due to my forgiving nature I even tried not to take personally what you wrote because all people can make mistakes with the hope that you can also forgive to other people certain mistakes and keep being respectful. I even apologized in details for my possible misuse of English words to make it easier for you to continue[2].
Still you didn't provide your arguments even after apology and it's hard to listen when arguments are not delivered.
I prefer to give people chance to fix their possible mistake before attacking them and I hope you can do the same. I hope that I didn't waste my time second time.
You've just made my point by tracking me down in another comment thread (and conveniently linking to my subsequent reply and not the tirade you wrote as the parent).
Can you please just drop it? You didn't listen with your original reply; nothing I say will change your opinion. I don't need more gratuitous comparisons to dictatorships and ad hominem attacks, thanks. It's always like this whenever I try to explain things calmly to people like you.
