> I'm scared of Apple. They can do my business in on a whim. Yours too.

They can't. My business is manufacturing for wholesale, nothing whatsoever to do with computers.

These kinds of over-generalizations and FUD only serve to reduce your credibility.



It is beneficial to all participants of a forum if everybody payed attention to context in which something is said. You aren't doing that here.


> Earth is round...

No it's not, it's an oblate spheroid!

These kinds of over-generalisations and FUD only serve to reduce your credibility. Now I can't take your warning about climate change seriously!


Huh, and I thought people on this forum were smart and would not stand for obvious FUD.

Personally I’d never choose to use rhetoric like this. (“My life is in danger because of X, and so is YOURS!”/“They are coming for you and yours next!”) - that’s the kind of thing leads to the worst of humanity. Good for you if you like that (and who wouldn’t, when you have a personal hatred of X, right?), but some people have to stand against it.


> that’s the kind of thing leads to the worst of humanity

I think most people are perfectly capable of processing this statement correctly, it's up their with 'videogames cause crime and violence'.


On the contrary, these kind of extremely obvious knowledge bits destroy your credibility.


I think it was implied they meant tech businesses, seeing as this is Hacker News
