Good old Artie. For those not in the know, Artie MacStrawman is the legacy of the recently discontinued Crazy Apple Rumors, the name given to the stereotype of a rabid Mac user. While such people do exist, they should be ignored, as they don't add to the conversation on how to defend against future threats or give any insight onto what issues will arise.
Similarly, there are pundits and consultants that cling to this false image, as a target to rally against. "Mac users don't understand security," goes the cry, "and as soon as a single virus happens, it'll be doomsday for them." Like Artie himself, they should also be ignored, because they also add nothing; they simply troll for publicity and page views.
Somewhere between these two extremes lie the majority that matters, those that care about security, who know that the MacOS is not invincible, yet also know that they are doing something right. Something that should be understood, so that future security can build upon this.
