Sean,

Are you gaslighting me?

Do people read my posts in isolation, and ignore the statement that I was reacting to? You seem to be reading things in the wrong order or something.

I did not jump in here to insult the Mac and its users.  I was responding to a claim by Penguinisto that "all that hardware has to hew to common software APIs, which has been far more stable over time than you suspect". I disagree with "stable" as if that means that cross-platform testing is much easier than it used to be.

My response was to explain that cross-platform testing is as hard as ever, despite these common APIs. And rather than just make some wild response unencumbered by facts or direct knowledge, I described what is happening with Flex on Mac versus PC.

It was then taken as some sort of insult to Mac users, when in fact I was insulting Penguinisto. :) It was HIM I was contradicting.

I really don't like it when people filter what I've said and what I've quoted. Read the whole post, including the quote.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
