Rest assured I casually allowed nospam's outlandish claims about "Boot Camp"
to go unchallenged for the first few of his posts, but he repeated his
false/fabricated claims so many times I felt I had to call him out for it.

The part you need to probably realize is there are only two possibilities:
1. He knew what I know, or,
2. He didn't.

If he didn't know, then he's completely ignorant about what he claims.
Yet, if he did know, it's even worse.
*If he knew, he was lying to you.*

You can pick which is worse, but it's what _defines_ the iKooks overall.
a. They have no education whatsoever, and,
b. They lie to protect their self image (which comes from Apple ads)

When someone is so wrong, I take it as them being stupid.
However... when someone lies to _me_ I take it as an insult.
*They think we are too stupid to catch their lies*.

And yet, we are highly educated and we've been in Silicon Valley startups
for decades, where you can't survive a day being as wrong as the iKooks are.

My point is that there are only two possibilities given how many times
nospam made his broad claims which I knew to be wrong each time he did.

1. Either nospam was ignorant of what he claims, or,
2. nospam thought _you_ were too ignorant to catch his lies.

Pick one.
