Re: Fear of Apple
#2This piece ignores the obvious. These people aren't afraid of their own criticisms of Apple. They are afraid that their criticisms will be magnified and distorted by the press and used as the basis of hit-pieces, and that this will reflect badly on them.
This isn't fear of Apple. It's legitimate fear of what the press will do with what they say.

Doesn't wash.
Trick question, why is it that they are not afraid about what the press will do with their snarky comments on say, Google, Microsoft, Samsung or Android?

Aside from a select few free software communities, the Apple community is the one I've witnessed the most negativity and hate in.
Maybe this is because people in both of these communities feel they are "special" somehow, and "better" than the average user?

Because the press doesn't make hit pieces about brands that are not perceived as the leader to be toppled.

Are you talking about hatred towards apple? Pick any positive article about Apple on the web with a comments section. You will see that the comments are filled with hateful anti-Apple invective.
