Banned Of Macrumors

First of all this thread has taken a not so good turn, Second that post seems to be taken out of context with no mention of who it is referring. Maybe its about you maybe not, there isn't much to go on.

Like any thread on the topic of eternal bannination could end well?

AppleTalk/MacTalk never has, and never will ban anyone for being gay.

Then you are a disgrace to Adelaide University😉

Not sure that the mac community could ever be homophobic, I expect that a disproportionately high number of mac owners are gay when compared to a cross-section of the PC owning public.

As for people being banned for talking about touching people in the wrong places then it is best that I don't mention the great work that I do hurting children - with their parent's consent of course.😀

Soon we'll have the whole membership of MacTalk Australia joining MacRumors, just because of one incident. 😀 What an interesting way to recruit new members. Now, if we could get them to join our folding@home team...

Not sure he stated his opinion very well but I assume he is referring to the large professional creative percentage that owns a mac.

Statistically, homosexuals tend to have a larger income than heterosexuals. Macs being traditionally more expensive are more attainable to people with higher incomes.

Mac users also tend to be more liberal and "free thinkers"

I also knew a girl that whould fall into your "Paris Hellton worship" group that baught a mac solely as a fashion statement. I will have to assume that some others may buy into mac for the same reason...
stereotypically of course.
 
That may be so, but I think it's more likely that the community is warmer and on the whole more accepting so more people are out about it, post anything indicating that you're anything other than straight on a pc forum and if your a guy you'll get all kinds of abuse and if your a girl you'll get your PM box filled near instantly because you are a girl.

I take it you've never frequented MacDailyNews.com then? Not exactly the warmest, nicest crowd of Internet users you'll ever come across.

Now, they are homophobes, so much so I complained to the moderators when iGary pointed it out. (even though I never go on the site)

Saloon, salon, what's the difference? You people over there have a lounge in your house. We go out to a lounge to drink. You have saloon cars. We go out to a saloon to drink. Did I have a point? 😀
