Step 1: Thread or post is made about some unpopular target.

Step 2: Haters pile on said item of hate, could be Pachter, Apple, some developer like Cliffy B etc.

Step 3: I find offense with the haters, finding them inferior to their targets of hate.

Step 4: Thread.

Step 5: ????

I find this thread offensive

I find you offensive for finding this thread offensive. Eminem has taught me well...

I don't really care either way, to be honest :)

Do realize you are hating by hating on haters?

I actually find controverstial topics more interesting than others, mostly because it fun to see others make themselves look like fools by disliking something on pure unjustified emotion alone.  Still I do find I am ignoring the sales threads more and more thes days as people act like good sales for a company equals a victory for themseles just a little to much.

get back to work, pachter

Im fighting hate with hate like you'd fight fire with fire. Even firefighters light fires sometimes, im just a hate fighter and hate is a tool in my arsenal to fight hate.

That is a good analogy, I just had to point that it was also hating and I think your sentiment is worthwhile and valid. Still your thread could put out the fire, but sometimes threads like this can just fuel it. 

Well you just have to know the way the wind is blowing before you light that fire.

Y u b hatin'
