Are
Consumer Reports,
Engadget,
et al part of this "hate club"?
Does any criticism of any Apple product constitute "hate" to you?
Does owing a couple of Apple products automatically exempt one from membership in this club?

Not at all true. Europe for example uses different GSM frequencies than does the U.S. so it could very well be a hardware problem when using the U.S. GSM frequencies and less of a problem on European frequencies.
It could also be as simple as perhaps a greater percentage of Europeans buy a case at the time they pick their phone up and have therefore yet to run into the problem.
It could be a lot of things but it sure is looking less and less like a software/bar reporting problem.
Apple has made some good products, a few great products, and their share of crap as well, but the near-religious defense of Apple and their products by their most ardent fans borders on the scary...
