So how the F$% does marketshare matter? Why do android fanboys care SO SO SO much about how much "higher" android marketshare is or isn't in comparison to their competition? If you ordered an android phone - enjoy it - enjoy whatever phone you did order or whatever phone you have.

See - I avoided using "fanboy." I posed my question because this is an Apple related site. Point is - it shouldn't matter to anyone. And yet - posters on this forum immediately "go there."
Post #20 and #29 illustrated my point beautifully. Why the need for those posts?
I'll tell you - it's insecurity.
It absolutely is insecurity. On both sides. Why ignore it when its irrelevant if this is an apple related site or not? There are plenty of ppl here who are here for the sole purpose of bashing apple and touting android
Actually - my original post which you replied to was more rhetorical in nature. My point was that it doesn't matter. So people need to get over it and just enjoy what they have. This constant need to bash competition no matter what they do or don't do ultimately has no bearing on whether or not you can enjoy what you have. It's petty, small minded and tells more about the person doing it than it does about a company.
And I agree. My point is it happens on both sides and you posting what you did like its some sort of revelation is irrelevant. There's going to be apple people who downplay androids success, and there's going to be android people who talk about specs and downplay iphone sales. There's going to be ppl like knightwrx who say things without proof or offer baseless speculation based on rumors, and trolls like applescruff1 who bash apple in every post. Its the internet. I think you need to just realize that and move on.
Well it didn't take you long to by a hypocrite, did it? The thread about how many iPhones were sold - you immediately go there too. Way to go.
hypocrite how? i said its the internet and it happens and for you to get over it. there's idiots on both sides, and i'm probably one of them. my confusion is why there's always one person like you on every forum who's like "can't we all get along"? its not going to happen. people like you are far more pointless to these debates then the bashers and haters. no one is going to hold hands in harmony and skip through meadows.
There's nothing for me to get over. And I don't think for a second we all need to get along. But there's intelligent discussion and debate - and then there's useless trolling and "reverse" trolling/baiting.
I'm all for debating and love different opinions. I just prefer mine to come from people who are actually intelligent enough to argue valid points vs just slinging useless mud for the sake if slinging and then patting each other on the back for doing so.
And that's not going to happen. If you're looking for that leave the internet. Like I said, there's people like you on every forum, who are some pseudo-peace lovers who do the same crap, albeit inconspicuously, as everyone else.
You're here whining about others whining. Do you not see that you're doing the same thing they are? Packaging it up in "I just want peace" doesn't make it any better.
I never said all I want was peace. And I am better than many posters on here. It's no ego. It's simply because I approach each topic and discussion with perspective and objectivity instead of pure subjectivity that many do.
If people want to be so myopic - so be it. It's a shame.
I wonder who is jealous enough of my spot in line to downrank my posts that are purely factual.
Theres an unknown person here going around down ranking everyone's posts. In the article about Steve's cause of death a lot of the post there were down ranked for no apparent reason.
