Simple question. What does FUD mean in the context of closing a thread?

No politics pls!

PS: "Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt" ?

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (often shortened to FUD) is a propaganda tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics, polling and cults. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear.

Whatever you do, never give up your Windows PC for an Apple or Linux one. If you do, your hair will fall out, you will lose access to your bank and investing accounts, your wife will leave you for a garbage truck driver, and of course erectile dysfunction. Do you want to chance ED? Me, either! Stick with Windows.....

My wife and mother-in-law about the M240 I wanted to buy:
The insurance costs too much
They are unreliable
Too small
Repairs cost way too much


Negatives about the S3 I bought?
None


I really wanted the M240, but wasn't up for the fight.

Have you ever been on the AudiWorld forums? I hear that they eat their young over there, and every other post contains a computer virus. Definitely stay away from the place, unless you want to risk erectile dysfunction. Things are sooooooooo much better here on BP.....

Being and engineer any time hear FUD means Fear, Uncertainty and Death. Engineers never want to kill someone so when management would ask engineers to take some risk immediate FUD would be told to management.
