More criticism of the NFB that they're enfatuated with Apple than I have
that they're Apple bashers. I tend to think neither is true and this is
more the view of the individual making this claim than it is of the
entire NFB organization. I'd suggest looking at the whole issue, all of
the statements and resolutions passed by the NFB and not basing and
publiching an opinion like this just based on something someone heard.
For example, I'd rather see a link to this resolution that was passed so
I can make up my own mind.

I recently learned of a questionable “resolution” passed at the NFB convention

Now, there’s this alarmist tidbits surfacing about an unpleasant surprise in
iOS 9.3.4.
I personally know of a “tech Instructor” at the local Lighthouse who is an
avowed Apple basher.
I find this obvious irrational animosity for Apple to be without any merit
whatsoever. It certainly causes me to have very little regard for NFB and that
organization’s leadership.
This reminds me of the childhood game “King of the Mountain” where the object
of the game is to occupy the highest point on the gaming grounds (usually a
snow bank here in the upper Midwest). That being the object meant that once you
achieved the highest point all other gamers were determined to knock you down
in the belief that they would then occupy that high point. Since it’s obvious
to me that neither NFB nor the author of that article would ever possibly
occupy the “high ground” on this particular snow bank, I have to wonder just
who is fostering all this “Apple bashing?” Makes me wonder!
