There are fundamentally only two types of people on this Apple newsgroup.

One type are those whose ego is tied up in what people think of Apple
(and who use only Apple products so they know nothing of the real world).

a. Those people revel in the long lines outside Apple stores
   (because it affirms their decision to join the Apple clique)

b. They boast absurd concocted arguments touting iPhone resale value
   (because it justifies Apple's ridiculously high cost of ownership)

c. They bask in Apple white papers replete with lovely technojargon
   (because it makes them feel that the product is differentiated)

d. But most of all - they will do anything - lie, cheat, steal - whatever
   even to the level of murder - to defend Apple's honor - to the death.

Unlike those fundamentalist religious zealot Apple trolls, the other type
on this newsgroup are just those people who happen to use Apple products.
