Recently, a person on this newsgroup, who claims to be a Mac user,
wrote the following statements on the same issue (making aliases in
OSX) :

"It is true, though, that the bug he has found exists with both List
view and Column view. "

... and

"Yup, you found a bug Steve."

Aftfer these "bug" type statements this Mac user then wrote these
kinds of statements on this issue:

"And Steve wants people to now believe that this does not work the
same on ?his machine... when the problem is *undoubtedly* user
error. Undoubtedly."

... and

"The problem is user error. But Steve likes to make up stories about
the problems he has with his Macs... he does not
accept the fact he is just an incompetent user. "

In the past, this Mac user has also written the following statement
about how he believes he differs from "many in csma""

"Unlike many in csma, I do not focus my views on personalities".

If this person isn't merely focusing on a personality here, isn't
this person being an Apple apologist for claiming something he
himself has labeled as a "bug" in OSX is "*undoubtedly*" an
example of "user error" by an "incompetent user"?

The "person" you refer to is an idiot who is consumed with his
hatred for you. Even though he admits it is a bug from Apple he
blames you. He think you and Steve Jobs are the same person. I
guess last names are too confusing for him.

Ah, Steve and his sock share the same black and white world view. So
he (and you, his sock) know the facts:

* Steve Carroll was flat out wrong to deny that you can make
multiple aliases in OS X.

* I was absolutely right to note that you can make multiple
aliases, and I proved it with a video: http://goo.gl/UdWf

* Steve accepted that my video was correct, but then said that
it only worked in icon view.

* I was absolutely right to note that you can make multiple
aliases in other views, and I proved it with a video:
http://goo.gl/beyx

* Steve was right to note that with the other views it is not
quite the same - the keystrokes have to be done in a very
particular way. While this way works with icon view, other
ways that work with icon view do not work with the other views.
This is a minor bug - an area of arbitrary inconsistency.

Because Steve does not understand how things are not always black and
white he is, again, lost. And he will not, of course, admit what is
obvious: he was wrong about OS X not allowing multiple aliases to be
made.

Steve showed he was ignorant of the capabilities of OS X. I not only
proved to him he was wrong, I made a video that showed him how to do
it - down to showing him how and when to use what keyboard keys. The
fact I helped Steve was, to him, offensive, so he - as he does so
often - trolled me and created another army of socks to "help" him.

Oh: and I predict since I responded to a post of his (well, his
socks), Steve will insist that this means I read *all* of his posts.
He cannot understand how it cannot be black and white - how someone
can read *some* posts without reading all. Another sign of Steve's
extreme black and white world view.

Can you add a few thousand words to your essay, Snot?

LOL!
