But, @turbineseaplane, (and others), to my mind, there is a significant difference between holding a position that Apple sometimes produces products that some may consider over-priced (a stance that can be argued for, and against, quite reasonably), and therefore deciding not to buy this product, on the one hand, and sitting in (negative) judgment on whether someone else chooses to buy, or decides to purchase, this product, on the other.
To me, it is entirely unnecessary, and wholly redundant to pass such judgments (and make offensive assumptions - and thus, judgments - on someone else's financial resources, when, in fact, how someone else chooses to spend, or not spend, their money is none of anybody else's business), and those posts do serve to render the atmosphere of some threads that bit more unpleasant, and sometimes, makes them seem downright toxic.
