The Apple defenses are all over HN today. Honestly feels like astroturfing after the OCSP fiasco.

If it's not astrptufing, I don't think I can understand the mindset of a consumer who feels the need to defend the world richest corporation from criticism.

It's not surprising when those customers are repeatedly criticised and insulted for buying a product they like.

It's the same as that Clinton comment about Trump voters being deplorables.

Insulting people won't change their mind, rather it entrenches their views.

Woah. Is there much if any criticism of Apple customers? I can't recall a single instance in all the Apple threads I've read here.

Plenty of criticism of Apple itself, but that is not a criticism of their customers.
