Am no fan of apple, but I can't let you distort facts unchallenged

Your facts are based on your imagination

Am a fan of Liverpool FC, the most successful club, not Apple 

LUG is no cult,and you are far from it's leader to determine who should be here

As Bagyenda pointed out, you are just an individual 
And please try to limit your role to simply that, not a holier than thou purist 
you claim to be

Far from it, if am to add

As you have noticed, few people have backed your hatred for Apple

Accept that you are in a minority, and let it be
However hard it is
