[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;28192044]Of course it matters, maybe not the country, but atleast what company.[/QUOTE]
Well of course if it's the official brand and the product works. But I couldn't care less.
[QUOTE=nivek;28130005]How the fuck is the explanation of why the prices are so high trolling you fucking idiot. You really gotta be a cunt and complain about "trolling" every fucking post, people that come and complain about trolls are ten times worse than trolls anyway.[/QUOTE]
You're either a braindead retard or a troll. I wouldn't want to insult your intelligence now, would I?

If he wants to pay a reasonable price, and still support a company that's using way more money on development than Apple, he should have bought some Nokia phones.

Nivek is right. His not trolling. Do you even know what troll is? If not at least look it up before you go saying it.

A troll is someone who deliberately weaves intentional logical fallacies into their argument in order to incite discourse in a forum thread. I'm nothing if not generous, if someone's post is so braindead, so full of incredibly obvious flaws as nivek's, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt because of course assuming he's just dumb goes against my kind nature. To illustrate my point I'll take your post; here I have someone originating from the same region of the UK as me, but who exhibits less command of the English language than the majority of non-native English speakers I've encountered on the internet. So I ask you this, my friend:
Are [i]you[/i] trolling?

See, this is why you should stop re-registering.
You just can't stop flaming people.

Can't help but agree.
Facepunch needs to clean out it's clutter.
I come to this sub-forum to have a civil discussion. Not say I don't from time to time. But most of it involves users like him.
The Apple section is really the only place where idiots get backup, it seems..

I'm not defending generic monks' flaming, simply stating that d_cover's pretty much just trolling when he says he tries to have a civil discussion, and that he actually gets backup for it. Let me pull out some examples:

Is this any different from what me and genric did? Nope, but suddenly just answering "Don't be silly", is discussion. Generic then proceeds to tell him he's a terrible poster (which is more than true), and he responds again with he's smily-face infested "neutral" posts.
tl;dr: generic shouldn't flame, d_cover's an idiot.

I am sorry if my posts seem annoying. But Generic does go on flaming sprees around the forums. If you think I'm trolling I'm sorry about that to. I really don't mean to.
But I don't see why people have to put up with this constant flaming. People should be able to post without the fear of written abuse. That's my feelings towards it but if you wish to think better of him that's your choice.

In my opinion he only flamed in his post on this page, the rest was just harsh replies, that you should surprised of when leaving a comment on an internet site. I still think he's right, except for the flaming. I'm not saying you're braindead, only wrong.

You're mistaking flaming with harsh replies. I [i]try[/i] to word my posts in a way that appears forceful, while either offending no-one in particular or everyone in the thread. This usually works well in most situations, but this subforum has such prevalent bad posters and fanboys that it's frankly annoying. I've tried arguing civilly with people like you before, it never works. Trust me, I'd love to be a beacon of civility and zen calm, but if I did that I'd be letting you continue your flurry of bad posts unabated without thought for what you're doing. Maybe I'm getting too self righteous, I don't know, but hey, I just like calling out bad posts and occasionally bad posters.
Don't mistake me swearing in my posts for a genuine dislike of you, though. Come back at me with an argument that'll destroy me. I'm not the best poster on this forum, nor mod material by any means, but if I can convince one person to stop posting like a 14 year old girl with downs syndrome I'll have given something back to this community that I've so enjoyed for 4 years. And really, that's all that counts.

Is a bit *too* harsh.

Yes it is. I went a little overboard with that. But the point behind it remains wholesome and valid, even if the wording is overly coarse.

Well I'm just saying most of your post involve written abuse. All you need to do is share your opinion not so aggressively.
I will add I'm not a giant Apple fan boy. I only own a Nano 4G and recently ordered an iPhone. But I'll always be PC over Mac because I enjoy gaming so much. Just to be clear.
I'll admit I don't know everything about them. If anything I come here to learn about their products.
I wouldn't say your a bad poster just an aggressive poster. You seem like an intelligent person when you get past the swearing.
