I wasn't trying to argue, that's the point, like I said, I don't bother reasoning with true Apple fans, because they're weird about it. Hence me just going blah blah apple dick sucker. I don't feel like bothering with people obsessed with a corporation that abuses them.

Luckily I don't live in a country where iMessage even matters. But in the US I've heard some shitty stuff about the segregation, and it's working, more people are buying Apple devices, often times not because that's what they originally wanted. That kind of behavior is extremely predatory and generally not okay.

I work with Apple build servers every day, and they're such a piece of shit company that they even punish (read exploit) you for developing for their platform.

Now my analogy was pretty succinct I thought. We have the general roads where all cars can travel on, and then we get apple roads that only Apple cars can travel on, and sure you can build 2 driveways at your house, one for the apps that everyone else uses, and one for your apple car, but going by the posts any time anything like this comes up, people would rather have their apple driveway and apple roads and only visit friends who also are on apple roads. And it's BS manipulation.
