I was thinking the same thing as CanadaRAM. You post a statement about how you have had all these bad Apple products and that you are done with Apple. No question of sorts that people can reply to in hopes of helping you. People respond in the most natural way, saying that their stuff has always been fine. You criticize them for not helping you when there is no way to help you. If you want help, ask a question or ask for advise.

Actually Ive been pretty active in all the posts about the grain issue, the uneven backlighting and QC so for some people readin those threads it might be interesting to know whats up with my replacement. And no I wasnt criticizing them for not helping me I simply said that "it" wasnt helping and also I wasnt all that serious. CanadaRam was just being rude. Simple.
Your not much better than CanadaRam thinking that Im posting for sympathy. I feel sorry for you that this is the only conlclusion you came to after reading my post, that I was looking for sympathy? Why on earth would I turn to an Apple discussion forum for sympathy? Get real, get over yourself.
Whats wrong with people? You dont have to take it personal that Im having problems with a computer you know.
so, consumers suppose to accept and use defective products because they are branded "Apple" ?!
No, but since all 15 of your posts since you joined have been bashing Apple products, I call "troll".
I think it's justified in this case, brikeh. However, I wouldn't call everyone who puts negative posts on a troll: for example, you've put a lot of negative posts on but have had a genuinely bad experience. I see no such evidence from our friend above.
Fair enough...
Im really messed up right now and dont know what to do. In Sweden the turnaround isnt exactly as good as in the U.S, I dont know if I want another replacement but then again I dont wanna go without OS X, this sucks. And to everyone else reading this thread, yeah I know there are good MBPs out there...but there are also alot of dodgy ones...I only have experience with the latter.
You don't want sympathy, check.
You don't want suggestions or help from any of us, check.
You don't seriously think Apple will read this post and mend their ways.
What do you want by making this post? - The only other thing I can think of is you want other people to consider not buying Apple because of your experience.
OK, Noted. You have had @^$& poor service and #&$-tacular product from Apple. That's one data point for the rest of us to consider in making their decisions. Equally as valid a data point as those who posted that they have received good machines.
Thanks for your input.
OTOH if the reason you posted was to pick a fight with whomever here was foolish enough to reply, then mission accomplished.
I don't know which of the two you intended.

Dude your just too agressive, you need to calm the hell down. I havent told anyone to NOT buy Apple. Why would I? Whats wrong with you seriously? Also I didnt say that I dont want advice, I said I didnt post for sympathy. If I posted everything was gravy I love my MBP blah blah blah, would you have reacted like this, because Apple wont read that either you know? Who did I succesfully pick a fight with? You? I think you were in a ****** mood before you even clicked on the thread title.
Man, I don't understand where you're coming from.
I haven't said anything aggressive, haven't called you any names, didn't swear, haven't told you to shut up, haven't dissed the people who responded, haven't questioned the facts of what you posted. I acknowledged that you have had a terrible experience with your Apple products. I did question -- what do you want to get out of posting this? Which is a fair, and a non-judgemental question.
Still, you seem to want to call me aggressive. Fine.
I will make a promise to you to neither read nor respond to any further of your posts.

You've noticed thatYeah calling people trolls seems to be very popular round here
Their way of dealing with people who complains about low quality products is to call then trolls and forget about the complaints. Troll Ignorance Theory I guess
You want me to pay my hard-earned money to buy a questionable product just to bring you an evidence?!
Something about my post irked you thought, to the point where you felt that you had to ask me why I even posted, like was it for sympathy? No, I was merely posting an update on what was going on with my replacement in a forum dedicated to Macbook Pros. You acted like a jerk and called it a dear john letter and said I was looking for sympathy. Then you accused me of picking a fight because of my response. You dont have to call me names for me to come to the conclusion that youre a bit agressive, you could have left the thread if you didnt like it. You just have a bad attitude and I responded to that. Hope your in a better mood now.
Really? You get to decide when its time to kill my thread? Why? Is the info in the thread not relevant? Did I post it in the wrong place?
