You know you're making your point when the downvote to actual counter-arguments ratio is so high - in fact, as high as it is here. Thank you to the haters and bullies that jumped in, many of whom have since swiftly deleted their personal attacks (presumably embarrassed).

I hope this remains a place where people can freely express themselves. I am an iPhone fan and will continue to be. I bought the original iPhone and iPod Mini before that. I've also had the larger iPhone models over the years. But I don't appreciate being attacked because I don't favor an iPhone 14 or in some other manner am not toting the company line. I noticed the weak trend to flood these types of posts at the same time in the hope of overwhelming the original poster. Their arguments are usually rather tame and often littered with logical fallacies and poor comprehension. When they hit any resistance, they abandon thread and jump to the next. I hope more people can express their opinions (however unmarketable!) more freely without feeling threatened or suddenly outcast. If that's the vibe, it's not something I want to be a part of.
