One man’s fight for the right to repair broken MacBooks

It's funny to see this analysis, because in my mind Rossman is simply being a New Yorker and doing things exactly as I'd expect a New Yorker to do them. The mentality that city forces on people to survive produces a narrow personality outcome and Rossman's personality is one of those.

I don't think being a New Yorker means you are destined to be as asshole. I'm from Jersey and generally don't care for people that meet the NY/NJ stereotypes. Maybe that's why guys like Rossman don't impress me.

There’s a line between being frank/brash and being an asshole - and often what side of the line someone falls on depends on how well you know/trust that the person has your best interests at heart.

I don't understand what his being a NYer has to do with anything.

Which statement has he made that was either a lie or an error?

What else matters than that?

I understand not finding the videoes enjoyable 3 hours of entertainment. That's hardly anyone's cup or tea. I mean finding his arguments questionable.

Is it somehow NYer of me to demand this explaination that if you're going to say someone's wrong, they actually have to be wrong?
