It amazes me that Nokia is actually calling the N900 a tablet now, after it was imperative that ITT be shut down because InternetTabletTalk is no longer an accurate description of what is going on here.

And if that's not why ITT was trashed, why was it?

It's so great to have more sites covering Nokia products of this nature -- unless they happen to be called InternetTabletTalk!

You guys somehow found a way to suck even more than usual.

I'll have to write an iPhone app about how bad you suck.

#1 on my list of people to put in my app... Texrat. Torturous pain in the neck with vague hints in the past... you tortured me to actually learn more. That's a crime where I come from.

And that website... Tub o' Necronomicon? Bah.

Eh? You're just spouting complete and utter tripe you've pulled out of some dark place on your body.

ITT was "trashed"? It was "imperative"? Nokia effectively forced Reggie, at gun point, to rename the site and change the theme - but whilst continuing to have full autonomy and it still running on "his" servers?

I thought the braindead conspiracy theories had been laid to rest. Glad to see they're just lying dormant.

It's really frustrating when members of the community take time off their day jobs to try and increase the knowledge flow from Nokia to the community to be confronted with such stupidity. It devalues the community, it devalues our work and its disrespectful to all the people (including those in Nokia who post - and the more who read these fora) who are passionately trying to make Maemo, and the Maemo community, the most vibrant and open mobile device community and OS.

Sorry for the rant, but we're working really hard - and what you come up with is more groundless, baseless accusations with no correlation with reality.

We are thankful that it's on his servers and it doesn't crawl like the rest of the maemo.org!

Bad taste is simply saying the truth before it should be said.

So in the Dumb and Dumber world, this would be the Jim Carrey thread?

I have augmented Post #1 of this thread to provide some context which, it appears, may have gotten ... uh ... lost.

Much appreciated for the heads up lol

I worked at a place that had a 'no moderation' forum (apart from anything illegal). It was a train wreck, mostly dominated by US politics. You quickly learned that pissing contests are no substitue for that crazy thing debate.
