Unless there is a selective filter somewhere between the US and Europe, I
daresay the attacks on Apple in this newsgoup are a lot more numerous and
vicious than those on others.
Thanks to the boycott, people are not just attacking companies and their
lawyers anymore, but calling names at the people who use and support products
of those companies. It's very nice that *you* don't take any of these
attacks personally, but when I am likened to a terrorist supporter just
because I use Apple, I get angry. Surprised?
