Thanks t888 for presenting us with this veritable Brazilian barbecue [rodízio] of fallacies:

- Straw Man;

- False Dilemma;

- Begging the Question;

- Oversimplification;

Dear user t888, I looked into your previous posts and found that you display an uncanny proclivity to quarrel here on HN in defense of Apple’s corporate image.

- Would you care to comment?

Your characterization is inaccurate. I don’t think you’ll be able to find a single positive thing I’ve said about Apple, unless you are referring to where I implied that Xcode has improved.

I don’t like dishonest headlines and vague smears, which I see too much of in a site that is meant to be known for curious discussion. Apple isn’t the only victim - I just happen to be noticing it today.
