Heh, the guy is lucky. Many years ago I posted something about the support work I did, used a standard industry term and got a PM here claiming this was an Apple specific term (bullshit) and if it was determined that I worked for Apple, I could be fired and face legal problems because blah blah blah. ---

Makes sense. Whenever I need to drill a hole in a clay pot, I call Applesupport for advice. ---

The [politically correct Great Debates thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=853715) where he keeps going on about how horrible it is that people are boycotting businesses and keeps insisting that businesses need to be able to refuse to business with individuals. While not being able to provide a single example of what exactly he means and crying about how I don’t understand english (until he got a mod note for that) and that isn’t what he means. Because we’ve shot down every stupid example he’s given, such as the idea of making an app for businesses so they can refuse to do business with ‘the wrong sort of people’. I asked him to explain, several times, exactly what he means and he is either incapable of doing so or is unwilling, because he can’t. One long dog whistle covered in cowardice. ---

It’s this thread I think: [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=853715](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=853715) **Octopus** gets into a heated argument with **iiandyiiii** , **Chimera** , and several other folks about boycotts and whether they should be allowed. The bit about not understanding english is in the last page and prompts a mod note. ETA: got beaten to the post (get it?) while off tracking this down. ---

You barely understand English. Either that or you’re just very intellectually dishonest.

That dopey Chimera doesn’t even understand that the main thrust wasn’t boycotts per se. It was that the amount of financial harm that can be done to business or other entities based on rumors or accusations spread with modern mass media is quite often disproportionate to any real offense. ---
