I guess we'll see then.

"No, YOU!!!" is the best Arlen has. Weak.

I'm afraid if it's not the trolling that puts you off, but people who
object to it, that's not a problem anyone but you can solve.

That’s it Wilf! You are about to be classified as a troll now! Jolly Roger
gets to decide all this and you are now in thin ice.

I've studied Jolly Roger and, in his defense, I'd clarify that the best
Jolly Roger can do, when he hates a fact about Apple, is call it a troll.

Jolly Roger doesn't own the intelligence to come up with anything better.

You have to realize that during his entire life, people have told Jolly
Roger that he was stupid - but here - in Apple lala land, Jolly Roger can
bully even the most intelligent of people. He _loves_ bullying people.

Bullying is the only thing that makes Jolly Roger feel good about himself.

Alan Browne isn't as stupid as Jolly Roger is, as Jolly Roger couldn't even
earn his GED (which he told us many years ago he tried 3 times & failed).

Alan Browne has an abnormally low IQ to be sure - but probably double what
Jolly Roger's IQ is, which puts Alan Browne at about 80 on the IQ scale.

Alan Browne's low intelligence is obvious in how he responds to the facts.

One way to tell that Alan Browne owns no intelligence is the absolute
_best_ he can do to counter facts when he's confronted with a fact about
Apple that he hates, is to call the bearer of that fact, an "it".

Somehow, in Alan Browne's rather strange 3rd-grade mind, it makes _him_
feel better about himself to call adults an "it" to make the fact go away.

Alan Browne has too low of an IQ to ever realize what it says about him,
especially given that's his _only_ response to facts about Apple product.

In these days of pronouns, I prefer to be referred to as “he” or “him”. If
he doesn’t comply to my preferred pronouns I will report him to Tim Cook,
who will then surely have his army of social warriors remove all emojis
from Alan Browne’s keyboards.
