Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I'm a relatively new Apple convert who never got into the Apple vs PC thing until I bought my first Apple, and tried to talk about it and got slammed by some obvious Apple vs PC war vets.
Look man, I'm just a guy who was excited about a new product and wanted to have some conversations and get some tips, etc about it. If you knew me outside of this board, you would know that I am the farthest thing from your version of a typical Apple user as it gets.
I'm just a geek, man. I don't pop my collar or sip imported beers and talk about my golf swing and how much snow there is on some exclusive ski mountain. I just want to have conversations with some people about some things that I think are pretty neat. I don't understand why I have to defend myself while I'm having those conversations.
Edit: Just saw your edit. I think there are more Apple users here than you probably realize. It's just not all of them are willing to subject themselves to some of the crap they see they'd have to go through to talk about it here. Also, I am one of those IT professionals you mentioned. I'm also a PC user.
