Bob, some of us are old enough to remember the real meaning of "drink the Kool-Aid". I, for one, am truly offended by using this glib phrase, which originally referred to the mass murder-suicide of over 900 people (including 300 children) by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jones

Thank you, Larry. It always pains me to hear people trivializing the deaths of so many people who really just wanted a better life.

Feb 9, 2016 8:30 AM in response to Meg St._Clairby Jay 75,The policy to brick the phones is obviously new, if Apple had been bricking phones since release it would be common knowledge.
Your claim that the policy of bricking phones is old.

Feb 9, 2016 8:20 AM in response to Jay 75by Philly_Phan,That's the third time that you've called me a liar. Fascinating allegations coming from the Grand Exalted Clueless One.

These folks will never see your position as reasonable, just as we will not see theirs as compassionate. A free-thinking person might say something like "I probably wouldn't have done it this way, but we are just the sycophants here, we don't drive the bus, we just cheer it on." Instead, you get this almost religious mantra about who is not following the rules and why you should not expect a corporation which could be reasonable, to actually be reasonable. It's a lost cause. And my final words because they do have one point: this is not the place for this. People will vote with their wallets.
Because this forum is not for compassion.
