The so called zealots that defend blindly Apple on everything are very few. Sure for every negative issue Apple has, out of the hundreds or thousands reacting to a news, at least a couple of Mac user will have an overly positive spin on it, denying the problem. Now you can't just add up all these skewed opinions to define "Mac Zealots" as people always blindly defend Apple. Each time, blind zealotry will affect only a few, and not always the same people. And much in the same way, everytime a problem happens at Apple you'll see tons of "non mac users" having an overly negative spin on it with skewed facts, overlooking any positive aspects or disminishing factors. A part of Mac users will often try to compensate for this negative spin by reminding the "public" about external factors and positive aspects, and will not mention the negative parts because they feel it's already said enough by other people and news outlets. Mac users are constantly forced to fight back FUD and myths about Apple so yes they can "look" like zealots to some uninformed wintel users. I guess that if being a Mac user is the only minority group you are part of, you fail to see that this kind of zealotry happens in any ostracized minority group. It's human nature, you really think that your article will educate the few thousands of Mac zealots that think Apple can't do no wrong? Like I said it's only an impression that we get, these always blind Mac users are rare. If each single Mac user defends on average 2 out of 10 negative news about Apple, it doesn't automaticaly mean that 20% of Mac users are blind zealots that defend anything.
