            Insulting people isn’t nice. The only rule on this understand is to be(e) nice. This is not appropriate behavior for our instance. You didn’t need to insult someone to make your point. I’m giving you a 7 day ban to think things over.

            Dude, you tried to lead OP off on a weird tangent that

            a) they didn’t follow you on and
            b) was nonsense and lacked understanding on your part from the get go.

            Stop insulting people as being stupid when clearly you didn’t (want to) understand what was said and just tried to tell people who told personal anecdotes that their anecdotes are wrong…

            It really speaks for itself how you were the only one here feeling the need to insult other people.

        They must’ve been playing the long game then, iMessage has been irrelevant in Europe since before this law existed. Apple truly thinks of eveything
