I too have hesitations about Apple movies. They might hurt Apple's identity with high quality.

OK, I'm done for a while. Being critiqued for wishing folks a happy Father's Day is the straw... You're done? Oh you poor thing. You could go on a rant about modern life if it seems like it might help, but it won't. -- As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.” He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” Luke 11:27-28 -- You don't need to be a religious to see accuracy in speech has always been a thing, and that it matters. Amazingly, I've never heard anyone point to this and say "How rude! That woman must have been so offended. She was just expressing warm sentiments!"

Chinacat, please don’t leave. You’re one of the few remaining valuable contributors. I’d guarantee nuclearboots is the only person who takes offense to a FD wish, and that he decides to attack someone for wishing it is pretty extreme. As hard as it may be to just ignore an attack, know that most on this board value you and your contributions.

Jumping Jesus on a Pogo stick... is this still apple finance board, or did i just walk into bible school?
there was some mods recently doing a mini-dissertation on what constitutes reasonable posts in the daily threads... basic rule was it has to be tied to apple somehow...
Oh and happy fathers day to all the dads! (all except nuclearboots, of course)... my son has special needs, he did such a touching tribue, made me tear up.

This is the sort of nonsense, trash posting we don't need here. Instead of lashing out, nuclearboots, turn the other cheek for us, huh? Chinacat, you're universally supported here, but I get the sentiment. Happy Father's Day one and all.

I too really appreciate Chaincat’s long term input. Always a positive contribution.
“you poor thing”... unnecessary. How long have you been here?

I really like the idea of Apple getting into movie and TV content. I've always been impressed with their creativity, sensibility and artistic intuitions. Would have loved to see their car concepts. Its also the logical direction to go to change their TV "hobby" into another major product stream. If they are half as successful as they were with music, it should be great, perhaps even another game changer.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking Nuclearboots and Chinacat may in danger of making too much of what may have been mostly "Lost in translation" comments.

It was actually a month ago. Time goes fast when you're ....,
Here's what nuclear boots said Don't give me this "cleaned up pc version" shit. You don't even grasp what I'm saying. Maybe you're not capable of sorting it out on your own. It's about the substance. No substance nothing there for me.
Here's my reply:
Here's what I grasp. " Maybe you're not capable of sorting it out on your own." "it only proves you don't grasp the issue very well." "is really for people who can't argue very well or persuasively." Dissing others and resorting to profanity under the pretense of a more civilized conversation strikes me as trolling. You're pretty good at it.

Chinacat, you're universally supported here, but I get the sentiment. Happy Father's Day one and all. I welcome China Cat's input and influence too, but if a one comment about expanding a traditional phrase he used and its possible meanings pushed him over the edge I dunno what to say about that. I was pointing out the aspects preserved in the traditional form of Father's Day greeting, which is simply as you've used it, which many seem averse to now and keep tacking extra things onto those 3 simple words. I think that's interesting and revealing. Look, people taking minor things personally need to toughen up. Turning the other cheek is when one has been insulted. I've not been insulted so there isn't a way for me to turn the other cheek. There's nothing one can do when personal insults and slights are fabricated. I chide people for that. If that's over the top then I don't know what to tell you. I don't feel bad about it. I won't feel bad about it. But look, if he or anyone thought my comment "romantic never grow up" was directed at him, it wasn't, but it doesn't look to me like anyone did.

Bill, what pretense did I give of a desire for a more civilized conversation? Being off-topic and not following basic rules is just wasting everyone's time. I didn't say it wasn't civil. I would never say that. But this really gets me mad. Why would I want to comment anymore when no one seems to like me? Is everyone against me? I've had it! Just can't take any more of this nonsense so I'm leaving and not coming back! Nah, just kidding. None of that's true. I had you for a second though didn't I? No, I'll watch when I get a chance and comment when I damn well please until someone tells me I can't. Just like always. See you round.

oh hei nuclearboots, my pardner!
You "dunno what to say"? stuck in conversations with yourself? "Oh you poor thing"... i do know a few junkies suffering from the same condition... "You could go on a rant about modern life if it seems like it might help, but it won't." once you get hooked, on the good blue stuff, you can't quit...
"You don't need to be a religious to see accuracy in speech has always been a thing" especially for professional trolls like you!
i'm sure you were "just expressing warm sentiments" but seems to me you had a verbal diarrhea (yeah, that's quite... uhm... warm)
how about now? still "not insulted"? well if you are, remember you need "to toughen up"!
p.s. FB and TSLA up 5% each today... maybe apple needs to offer some damn crypto or self-driving car promises... otherwise we're back to watching the paint dry and getting professional troll lessons instead of discussing aapl investment and trading

No Ted, I’m not offended. I’ve been out of town since last Tuesday and am just tuning back in. Taking offense is a choice. I toughened up a long, long time ago.
