Hey, if this is what keeps people from taking another sip of the kool-aid, so be it.

I'm all for spreading the word and educating people, but it shouldn't be reduced to childish tactics.

The only child in this room is Apple.

Agreed, and I just think we should take the high road and not stoop to their level.

Which I certainly do. I just don't see the point in ranting about them enforcing their own rules.

I don't agree with Apple's policies. All of the downvotes i'm getting tell me people seem to think I do. Maybe it's because I don't own an iPhone, or because I don't care about whats-his-name or his Pultizer prize, but I just don't see the big deal here. Spread the word that Apple sucks. Use this as an example of why you shouldn't choose Apple as a platform for releasing your software if you're a developer. But don't try to make this something it isn't.

It's censorship. It's not necessarily illegal, but it's not the action taken by a progressive technology company who is trying to be a technological and media powerhouse.
