This post was just brought up in our legal issues panel at the Blog Business Summit here, and I found the whole article and situation unbearably amusing.
Apparently, Larry Bodine wrote an article about how he had a tough time with his brand new Mac G5, and it wasn’t well received by the Mac-loving community. Apparently he got hate voice-mail and tons and tons of grief for being unable to figure out “what any five-year old child can do.”
He didn’t respond that well himself, but, you know:
These Mac owners are defensive beyond belief. They need to get a life. They must grow up and learn that their computer is just a machine, not their religion.
It’s a good example of how sensitive subjects can lead to flame wars that can turn into legal liabilities. And it’s amusing.
