Freebase very nice inputs as usual. I too wanted to remain neutral throughout this, but somehow I became the bad guy along the way.
Stop trying to play the victim, you made an assumption off of two or three people's reactions

Here in the last week or so I have had two or three people abruptly correct me for calling thier Zune an Ipod. It seems like if someone called an Ipod a Zune no one would get upset.
Even the topic title "Why Zune Owners get so upset yaddi yaddi yada" implies all Zune Owners and not just some.

Now perhaps I may have been a little quick to bring up the idea of locking this thread and this is my first official day as a moderator so there will be some bumps like this along the way until I get fully accustomed to the job itself.

The threat of a lockdown was not just based at you Dim Mak, but anyone who wants to start a bitch fest over who's mp3 player is better. I did not mean to make you feel like that comment was directly related to you (perhaps I should have worded it better) and I apologize if I offended you. This thread has potential to turn into a decent debate over the pros and cons of certain mp3 players.
