Dvorak Admits To Trolling Mac Users

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the everyone's-favorite-gasbag dept.

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.

    MAC users are extremely naive. this guy is milking them for every hit and they are too stupid to figure it out. I respect that guy a lot. MAC users need to grow the fuck up and get a real OS.

    In other news, CommanderTaco trolls Linux users, Zonk trolls PS3 fanboys, and every /. editor trolls the grammar Nazis.

    Its called "Sensationalism" in Newspapers, "Shock Jocks" in Radio, and "Trolling" on the internet.
