alt Hacker NewsYou are just not making any sense. Your very first comment is the one taking offense with the word 'bootleg' erroneously...
If your worry is about phone-home, no need to mention Android specifically. This happens with all off the shelf phones. Point is about a phone that has an OS that looks like what you would expect and just doesn't do what you expect. Obviously you didn't understand what I had written so I had to call you on that. You may feel insulted, does not mean that I am insulting you.
Anyway, just so that it is clear. Probably should end the conversation here so no one feels insulted any further.

No, my first comment is this:
> Everyone who buys an Android phone. This is about the opposite, an option to buy a phone that does not do that.
It doesn't say anything about "bootleg."
> Obviously you didn't understand what I had written so I had to call you on that
Again, please stop insulting me.
> You may feel insulted, does not mean that I am insulting you.
Look, I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but it's really difficult. Do you genuinely not understand that the following things you said are insulting?
"So pedantic, you must be fun at parties."
"you are being overly pedantic while being wrong at the same time. You might find this difficult to accept but I'm just calling it."
I do understand that some people lack social awareness and therefore don't understand when they are being insulting, so it's possible that you genuinely do not realize how you come across. I am telling you now, though, that saying things like these is, in fact, insulting, regardless of your intent. So if you genuinely did not intend to insult me, I hope you will now stop writing stuff like that.
