I didn't "turn this into some profound judgment about the poster sat TC instead of (my) silly post." I did the opposite.
You (and some others) got morally indignant at my bringing Ghandi into a discussion about a phone. That was YOU making the "profound judgment".
The opposite? You didn't have the courage or capacity to form your own thoughts on the matter so you
created a thread and threw in Ghandi's quote as proxy to serve what, to ridicule people? This is a good use of Ghandi?
And yes a bunch of us judged what you inferred (but we abstained from personal attacks) based on your thread title and post. That's what you get for starting a thread that served no purpose but to criticize individuals and flame (or a poor attempt at humor). Get over it.
Don't like negative reactions to things you post? Then don't start such a silly thread.
My response about whether you guys spend any time discussing politics, etc. was simply to point out that YOU were being judgmental and hypocritical in expressing reverence about a subject that you seem (based on your time on this site) to care little about. By contrast, most of your leisure seems devoted to discussing gadgets.
Wow. You actually think that makes sense?
So quick to judge the lives and interests of those you don't know, aren't you?
So whereas we critiqued just your analogy (if you can even call it that), you judged everything about us based on what you want to be true (a personal attack).
(a) How do you know what we do in our leisure time?
(b) How do you know what we do/don't "
care little about"?
(c) How do you know some of us aren't native to India, part of the Sindhi diaspora?
Simple. You don't. Or maybe...
(d) Maybe we just find your "point" poorly made?
This is all a straw man:
presume we don't care about Ghandi enough, therefore our critiquing of your post is not valid. As if one logically entails the other!
As for the point of the OP, it speaks for itself, as much as you pretend not to understand.
But to humor you, just read the "10 Things..." post. You people have been ridiculing and tearing each other to shreds since the phone was released.
And...?
Why do you care what other people do so much? We choose to post there, you choose to read it or ignore it. (BTW, that thread is hilarious and if you take it too seriously, well...too bad)
But you felt so above it all you had to start a new-thread to what, teach us a lesson? To make a profound judgment about posters here at TC, especially in that thread?
You deserved the mockery you received for this thread.
You used Ghandi in a
failed attempt to make some kind of point,
not us.
