Dvorak Admits To Trolling Mac Users
jalefkowit writes "Tech pundit John Dvorak has long been known for his inflammatory opinions. Many have suspected that these opinions are just a way to drive up traffic to his column. Now, we have it straight from the horse's mouth: Dave Winer has Dvorak on video describing his methodology for trolling the Mac community to pump up his stats."
I have to admit I'm also guilty of posting the occasional inflammatory story, but I find it's usually best to suffix the title with a question mark, and let our ever-knowledgeable readers hash out the issue and decide for themselves.
Grandparent - funny and insightful comment about the sometimes over-simplification of mac UI's
Parent - stupid troll who doesn't realize that there are about ten different ways to do most tasks in OS X, with more uniform keyboard shortcuts and extensive contextual menus than windows has.
Two words: Ann Coulter.
Yes, much like Dvorak she voices unpopular opinions, and people look to censor both of them, because god forbid someone held an opinion, or wrote a story they didn't like.

See? It works, even in response to an overton attack. Of course, when opposing ends of a spectrum overton, the arms race makes the rubble bounce.

Fascism is rightwing. Fascism is corporate government, communicating with the people through only violence and propaganda.
Perfect for media corporations. Trolls are their national bird.

Unless your definition of "Christian" has no relation to the teachings of Christ, Javalord, you're just another droning conservative apologist too lazy to even read about the things you defend.
You must be on the low end of the democrat spectrum. Let me guess, you dropped out of high school? Try looking up the word hyperbole. Thanks for playing.
