I like Coding Horror too, and write .NET on a MBP. I've noticed the weird social aspect of owning a Mac too. The day I bought it one of the employees at Best Buy congratulated me on buying a Mac. I'm sure if I brought it out in public more I'd get strange looks. I think you already saw my sticker: <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/lancefisher/3086700758/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://flickr.com/photos/lancefisher/3086700758/</a> Nice sticker!

It's common courtesy and I missed it. I intend to fully follow the protocol you outlined from now on. I'm sorry for not contacting you first, and asking what you prefer. @Josh – You are absolutely right and I was spectacularly wrong. It’s common courtesy and I missed it.

Yeah, it's your blog and you do what you want with it, but I deserve to know ahead of time if you're going to blatantly edit my message. Even an email saying "Sorry Josh I wasn't pleased with your language in the recent comment, but since it was overall worthwhile I censored it accordingly. Hope you don't mind." would have been awesome. Now I just completely violated. You know what, I think I would have rather you not published my comment than censored it.

(Zero Sr. even had a Lisa.) There was a time when finding someone who voluntarily used and liked Macintoshes was sort of like finding the only other person at the party that didn't treat you like a leper. Saying "I use a Mac" used to be a stigma, not a fashion statement. Now that it's a fashion statement, it's probably *still* a stigma. “Mactard” – that’s awesome. :-)

Oh my God, there's a Mac! When you buy a Mac, you somehow get automatically enrolled into a community of idiots. It's a computer, not a social movement, you ********. Apple does not sell ways of life! Covering up the Apple logo will help, but you might want to consider shaving your head and tatting a swastika on your cheek to get complete isolation from these ***clowns. Good luck!
