Skeptical questions on a discussion forum are not bullying. Moreover, it's hardly apt to suggest that the Firefox OS team, let alone Firefox OS itself, would retaliate. The fighting metaphor seems ill-considered and childish.
I think you are being an insufferable pedant here. I was preserving the context from the OP to outline the method of discussion which simply consists of: "compare x to y using box ticking and derision only" (rather than discussing the relative merits).
The fighting metaphor is childish as was the OP's comment and arguably yours which serves only to outline your supposed moral superiority rather than add anything constructive to the topic.
FWIW, I like what Mozilla is trying to do with Firefox OS, and I think you did a good job of describing the merits of this platform in one of your other comments. I even pre-ordered a Geeksphone Peak+ a few minutes ago.
But I think the macho language of fighting (e.g. "kick your ass"), which glorifies retaliation over calm, logical discussion, needs to die, particularly on a forum like this.
