You Can/Can't Still Use PowerPC Macs in 2020!

[Raging Dufus]

OK, where?

I showed you where. I quoted you, it was right there.

Any other one's are no different because I know I didn't make any such statement.

I told you I was paraphrasing. Are you too much of an "average user" to understand what that means?

Perhaps you missed where I said:

I will continue to hold my opinion

Nope, I saw that. An opinion you've repeated, over and over and over again. We get it. The fact that you keep repeating it, for no good reason, suggests that your intention is to provoke.

I didn't start this (and neither did the YouTuber) so I can I'm puzzled as to how you think I am needlessly provoking people here.

Dronecatcher didn't start this either - at least, not the silly argument. And yes, he has a handle, just like you and me and everyone else that uses this forum. Your insistence on referring to him without using it is pedantic. But I digress.

LOOK AT THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD. It says "Can/Can't". Anyone but an average user could see that that implies there are two sides to the argument. Yet you continue to imply that he's taken a side, that it's the opposite of yours, and then require that he prove that he hasn't. He's challenged you to prove your assertion and you've ignored him, while continuing to poke at him. There is no other way to describe this behavior than provocation.

I have been fully supportive of the people in this forum and their choice to choose and use whatever they deem appropriate for their needs. I have stated this on several occasions.

Yes, in response to no one. You even did it to me, after I pointedly told you that I didn't care about PowerPC vs. Intel. That's great, you're supportive, I'm sure we all feel supported by @defjam right now. Stop patting yourself on the back, take your own advice and quit this nonsense.

Are you aware that immediately after writing this you then wrote:

Sure he did. He has taken a side. PPC good, Intel bad. At least that's the way my discussions went with him. I have yet, at least that I can recall, see him acknowledge the YouTuber in his OP made a valid point.

Yep, and so far I have seen few people acknowledge as much. I don't know why many here just cannot say "Yeah, the guy has a point". Instead they criticize him which, IMO, is what the OP wanted. If that's not the case where is the discussion?

You keep demanding this to which I will respond: No, I will not stop speaking my position because you so want me to. Ironically you continue to further it by responding yourself. Given the implementation of stay at home orders from the government I've got time to discuss this. If you do not wish to discuss this then I suggest you stop responding. If you want to discuss this the stop with the "you're trying to provoke" provocations and let's discuss.

How many times does it have to be said.....Reproduce the quotes then, it's so easy to do - if there were any of course.....

EDIT: In fact this is becoming painful - look at my signature to see the Macs I use - I think even an average user can see my current bias.

I missed reasoned discussion.

I bet you do. It's kinda hard when you ignore what other people say and just respond however the hell you want.
