For _adults_ on this ng (admittedly, only a handful), I'm providing a free psychological & behavioral analysis of Alan Browne's stated convictions...
I kindly & generously place these assessments in the permanent record.
Being intelligent and curious and always learning based on observable
facts, I study iKooks - where Alan Browne is as classic as is Jolly Roger.
Adults will note these facts (and my assessment of those facts).
FACT 1: Alan Browne uses "it" for a person he doesn't appear to like.
FACT 2: Alan Browne provides a sweeping view sans a single fact.
FACT 3: Alan Browne says _everything_ is wrong (which is unrealistic).
Assessment:
a. Alan Brown owns the brain of a small child (seriously, no joking).
b. Alan Brown is forming a belief system based on zero actual facts.
c. Alan Brown doesn't seem to care about (nor understand) his credibility.
When you put it together with all the other information we know about this
Alan Browne iKook, it's no different than what Alan Baker or Lewis says.
The iKooks like Alan Brown all suffer from the same class flaws:
1. No education and low IQ means lack of adult comprehensive skills.
2. Inability to process facts means they gravitate to religious messages.
3. Only Apple hasn't told them they were stupid their entire lives
so they use Apple as a way to bring them out of their low class.
Now, to the point that Alan Brown "thinks" he made (sans any facts),
I made the point that the iPhone has had more zero day bugs than Android.
That's simply a fact, right?
So that's one he can't disprove.
I could go on, for example, there is no way to do graphical wi-fi signal strength debugging on iOS for all wi-fi access points in the vicinity.
That's simply a fact, right?
So that's another one he can't disprove.
Notice that Alan Browne, like all iKooks, simply _hates_ facts.
Why?
Because when you own a belief system NOT based on facts, then facts are the most dangerous thing to your strongly held (religious) beliefs, right?
Alan Browne not only hates facts - but he hates the bearer of fact.
So much that he uses the most clever of all insults he can come up with.
Hehhehheh... "it"... (wow, that's clever, isn't it).
As to keeping my iPhone, the troll is not part of my decision.
As far as I'm aware, on this newsgroup only Steve and I habitually switch between Android and iOS (is that right - or do others switch all the time)?
The ecosystems are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT in almost every way imaginable.
In fact, if you are intelligent about the comparison, iOS is completely different from _every_ common consumer operating system. (Even macOS.)
Mostly it's in the walled garden, which, Alan Browne, characteristically
and quite tellingly, insists with religious fervor that it doesn't exist.

Posted out of the goodness of my heart to disseminate useful information
which, in this case, is to analyze why Alan Browne does what he does.
