Your comment has added to the signal to noise ratio, as now has my response! "Please don't do that".

Lighten-up a little bit, step outside and get some fresh air, life isn't as serious as you make it, you're missing out.

By the way, I do think Apple is better than Microsoft and I have as much right to voice that opinion here as anyone else has, it doesn't devalue anything; I simply added about karma burn because you know if you say A is better than B, especially in the context of Apple and Microsoft, you're going to get down voted--that doesn't take away from me having the right to say it though if I believe it to be true.

The problem with saying "Apple > Microsoft" isn't that you're expressing an opinion. The problem is that you're not adding to the conversation. Lightening-up has nothing to do with it. Conversations here are pleasant because we try to avoid comments devoid of content.

You're new here, so I figured I should explain how our community works. I feel that is worth some noise.
