    I had to look up what "51" meant, where perhaps it's a

    Alan has an insulting name he uses for me so I have adopted one

    Oh, thanks. Apparently 51 is also slang for people who are
    mentally ill (although it's more often called "5051" in the normal
    police code jargon).

    As you are aware, I've studied all of these strange Apple trolls,
    because they can't think on their own; they're 100% wired to be
    herd animals.

    To these Apple trolls who can't think on their own, there is
    safety in number, which is why you'll see them desperate for
    affirmation stats.

    Haven't you noticed how desperate the Apple trolls are for
    affirmation that their chosen herd, the Apple ecosystem, comprises
    only Apple herd animals?

    I don't fit into their herd-animal mentality because I think for
    myself. So they hate me. It's not so much they directly hate me.
    They directly "fear" me. Because I can think outside of the herd.
    And that's what they hate.

    Anyone who can think outside of their herd mentality, is someone
    to be feared because that person will tell them what they won't
    like about Apple.

    So you're "dangerous" to them because you threaten their herd
    mentality.

    They seem to dislike you because you too can think for yourself
    outside of their Apple herd mentality - so people like Alan Baker
    are afraid of you.

    The reason they're herd animals is there is "protection" in the
    herd. Instead of making their own choices, they follow the herd
    instead.

    They assume if everyone else is doing it, then it must be the
    right thing. This herd-animal mentality is critical for
    understanding Alan Baker's mind.

    Knowing Alan Baker is who he is "because" he's a herd animal is
    exactly why he can't scratch the surface on *any* topic - because
    the herd does his thinking for him. He doesn't bother to think any
    deeper than the surface.

    An example is Alan Baker claims to own a BMW and yet he doesn't
    know the first thing about bimmers because his decision was based
    not on thinking about bimmers, but in following what he perceived
    the herd to be doing.

    Given Alan Baker's entire mentality is that of a herd animal, it's
    not surprising Alan Baker doesn't know anything about the betrayal
    of Norway.

    All Alan Baker knows about Norwegian history is this one betrayal.
    Anyone who thinks for themselves, is, to Alan Baker, betraying the
    herd.

    Since you think logically on your own, without mindlessly
    following the Apple herd animals, Alan Baker feels you've
    "betrayed" the newsgroup.

    Essentially, your ability to think on your own is a 'betrayal' in
    his mind. That's how these mindless herd animals actually think.

    Every time Alan Baker tells you that you've "betrayed the herd",
    he's informing all of us that he can't think outside the Apple
    herd animal mind.

    It's why he is who he is. He's a herd animal - so by thinking -
    you've 'betrayed' his chosen herd.

    That is some kind of twisted logic! Alan does own a BMW. His family
    sold it to him at what he admitted was a sweetheart deal price. It's
    13 years old now and a 1 series. Before that he had a clapped out
    red Miata. It used to be in his Facebook image.

    It was a good deal, no doubt...

    ...but it was also all that my brother was being offered for it in trade.

    As for "clapped out", that Miata was modded and rebuilt with a new
    engine and A/C.

    But then you've never even tried to be honest about anything about me,
    have you?

    A 25 year old Miata that you fixed up. I'm sure the suspension,
    interior, body panels, electricals were all like new.
