I love how anyone with ~~half a fucking brain~~ poor conversational skills and an inability to see things from someone else's perspective gets down voted.

Try talking to people online as though they were in the same room as you, IRL. If you're already doing that, I have to ask, how many offline friends do you have?

I have been, I don't respect people who want things to stay the way they were because they refuse to try new things.

People with very polite and normal responses were gettug downvoters just because they offered solutions that can't be dismissed easily, so downvoting was done instead.

It allllways comes to the civility argument when people know their position is dog shit, too. Cute.

I don't have a position on cell phone interfaces and hadn't planed to give one. No skin in this game, really, though it's clearly a contentious issue!

I just can't help but notice when people are being terrible conversation partners, mostly. Me finding you to be an asshole has nothing to do with how I feel about cell phone ports.

Anyone fucking stupid enough to think the 3.5mm Jack is a good thing deserves the disappointment they feel every time a device doesn’t have own, tbh, bring it on themselves

Are you 12?

Funny that you called me the one not paying attention to other people's desires when all I did was point out that the people claiming there was literally no other option were wrong. I'd consider burying your head in the sand and pretending adapters don't exist as being a garbage conversation partner.

No, but you must be if you think what I said is in any way contentious. People in this thread are being gigantic whiners about pointless shit and I have nothing but contempt for them after seeing the dogshit arguments for their side and personal attacks at me rather than actual points being made.
