>I think there's just as much unreasonably anti-Apple activity on HN as there is pro-Appl

No there isn't. Pro-Apple comments don't get downvote bombed and flagged for no reason as much as those anti-Apple. If you don't see this it's your bias showing.

And what was "unreasonably anti-Apple" in that comment that it needed be flagged? By market share it's true, for most people saying "a computer" is gonna mean a PC, not just a Mac only.




Since neither of us actually have any data to show, it's more reasonable to assume that the anti- and pro-Apple behavior is equal than that one is more common. To proclaim, lacking any actual data, that one is more common and that it just happens to be the one that matches up with your preconception, suggests confirmation bias.

Please show me where I said that comment was unreasonably anti-Apple, or that it deserved to be flagged.
