Who says I don't? 
Even though I don't, I feel the need to complain and correct false statements.

He has always been observant.
I think Maddox's site is aimed at people like iParis --- people who blindly believe something, and are not clued in enough to know why they feel the way they do. Maddox just tells you what most people are probably thinking anyway.
One of his first articles, and when I first chimed in, was his opinion of crappy kids drawings. I think it's in the archive now. Lets face it.....what he said was true. Those drawings are crap. If I drew those crappy drawings, you'd probably chuckle at my lack of skills and pee on it. If a 4 year old kid draws the same thing, you'd start oooohing and awwwwing before your girlfriend rests her head on your shoulder, and you start touching each other.
Funniest thing I've read all day. iParis should definitely send him an email to express his opinion as eloquently and clearly as he has in this thread.
When did you give an honest attempt to correct any false statements?
You seem to hate the fact that he bashed the iPhone, but what he actually said about having a physical keyboard and such isn't wrong. Many people at MR say it all the time, and nobody gets jumped for it. He just said it in a crasser way.

Fanboys for any product are annoying.
Admitting you're a fanboy is the first step to correcting the problem.

His site kind of pissed me off until I read his piece on Bill O'Reilly. Sending him no more tears shampoo and a box of tampax made up for all the Mac hate.
Yes, it's okay to be passionate about something you like/love. I know some people, unfortunately, that are more passionate about hating things/people than liking/loving their their own...
meh... there's a million of em... take a look at this PC hating site.
forums.macrumors.com
LOL...
I don't believe macrumors is a PC hate site.
The only time I have b*tched about PC's on this site is when mine crapped out on me.
I already did.

I can't believe you'd even post this Maddox's entire point is to make updates to his personal website that are absurd rants based on things people say to him, and that he sees in day-to-day life. He doesn't care about half of the issues, he does it simply to flame. It's common knowledge, and most of his stuff is satirical anyways. On top of that, this has been covered many, many times.

On another note, who else really enjoyed his book?

I really don't care about his "opinion" on how he view a mac computer I only cares about mine. He's just some maniac who has too much time on his hands that has nothing to do but flame at random stuff for no reason. Apparently he has no sense of taste in many things...Someone I wouldn't want to be friends with..Lol
Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion. Personally I think it's dumb to get angry about the whole mac vs. pc argument. Why does it even have to be an argument? Obviously if Mr. X bought a Mac he thinks OS X is better so what's the point? There's no right or wrong answer and the only thing you can debate is a matter of opinion which means it's completely subjective anyway.
LOL! you finally discovered Maddox!
I'm sorry, but... he's kind of like an icon. and he pwns u.
this is my fav one
The eleven worst songs of 2004.

Really?
Nope, I had not seen it. I have a life! o_0
Saw it thanks, but I am not impressed.

Oops sorry forgot to mention, I thought I didn't need put my "Made on A Mac" icon in my Insanely great site anymore... but now that I think about it maybe I should
Maddox's website is so old, and so popular, and yet it doesn't sound like any of you have ever seen it before.
His site was always pretty funny, and what he said about the iPhone was true.

I have to agree. He is making fun of things. It is a joke. I repeat, a joke. The more you hate it, the more he loves it. If you don't like his particular style of humor, don't go there.
I loved the iPhone article, my god it was hilarious.
Can't do fundamental tasks like copy & paste text:
(iPhone) Yes.
(Nokia E70) No. Double negative, bitches!
Amazing stuff.
Agree.
I took a look at the site. Definitely a fanboy site. Let them have their fun.
FWIW, I noticed some info is out of date.
You viewed it, regardless of how you got there, you viewed it. It's clear in your postings here. And I fixed your post for you.
Nothing being written here will affect on anything you say because what you are saying is purely your opinion about a site based on someone else's opinion.
Ahhh another short response with zero context.
Maddox is actually quite entertaining and spot on in many cases. His delivery leaves something to be desired, but it's all quite humorous. There are probably more sites like this if you look and with any luck, there will be more. I'm really not at all concerned about someone bashing a product that I use. They don't owe me anything and likewise, I owe them nothing. I have one person to report to about what I buy and that is me.
Getting worked up about a site on the internet is pointless.
