    This thread is a PERFECT example of why it's the apologists alone
    who ruin this Apple newsgroup by turning it into a kindergarten cesspool. <https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/Ed3U42yJi8k>

    Every fact about Apple apologists don't like - they both denigrate the OP
    who is merely a messenger, and worse, *apologists claim all facts are lies*.

    *Why are these apologists so _ashamed_ & _afraid_ of facts about Apple?*
    I don't know why.

    I just know that they are & that the thread today is a perfect example of
    why *it's apologists alone who ruin this newsgroup* by turning it into their own kindergarten cesspool (where to them, all facts they don't like, are
    lies & all people bearing facts they don't like, they hatefully denigrate).

    These apologists deny all facts about Apple that they simply don't like.

    By way of starkly refreshing contrast, _this_ recent thread on one of the
    adult operating system newsgroups shows what a Usenet thread _should_ be!

    *Why does Google Maps on phone require access to my contacts to load an offline map*
    <https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/3PDPFoNTU2M>

    Adults will notice how _everyone_ acted like an adult in that thread,
    and where tons of useful information was purposefully helpfully shared,
    which is representative of what threads are like on the adult operating
    system newsgroups (i.e., Windows, Android, and Linux newsgroups).

    As just one indicator of the value people habitually add on the adult
    operating system newsgroups, see this set of old & new illustrative shots <https://i.postimg.cc/CMmSsgtN/maps01.jpg> These are the best map apps <https://i.postimg.cc/2y2zKzwB/maps03.jpg> There are many traffic apps <https://i.postimg.cc/vZmTvPZx/maps02.jpg> Lots of backcountry maps too <https://i.postimg.cc/NfsF7n4H/maps04.jpg> Mock location for privacy <https://i.postimg.cc/FFYqg9Dv/maps05.jpg> Auto save your old map APKs <https://i.postimg.cc/wBcPVb2P/maps05.jpg> Works fine w/o an account <https://i.postimg.cc/Y9rPyfyS/maps06.jpg> Sign in still saves recents <https://i.postimg.cc/mDmnxz0y/maps07.jpg> It asks to _create_ an acct <https://i.postimg.cc/pry6PVvb/maps08.jpg> Google sets sleazy settings <https://i.postimg.cc/05H6kD2p/offline01.jpg> Google Offline Maps GUI <https://i.postimg.cc/tg5TLVMn/offline02.jpg> Requires Google login <https://i.postimg.cc/WbB1JqLP/offline03.jpg> Requires Google Account

    In summary, when the dozen apologists below are _not_ on a Usenet newsgroup thread, the conversation is purposefully helpful and informative for all.

    Apologists alone are why Apple newssgroups are a kindergarten cesspool.
