Are you offended by it though?

"...prefer not to see used..." and being offended are 2 very differnet
things.

I would prefer for Dan Schwartz to stop whining about Steve Jobs and am
quite tired of it but not offended. I am also tired of Dan bashing the
Mac at every opportunity he gets and making up inane excuses for PCs
(like suggesting employees be fired for not wanting to switch platforms),
but I am not offended by it...

Nothing personal Dan.
