[JC]Yeah? Well I think you're wrong, shee.[/JC] But let's give it a try:

It is my opinion that the iPhone is an absolutely stupendous device!

CAUTION: Old guy ranting and calling the kettle black

As far as this topic goes, I would like to see more of the problem children get time outs. If you can time out God for 10 days, then anything is possible.

I don't believe in censorship and I don't use an ignore list, but I also don't let my 5 year old do all of the cooking. But one day I will. :) Some of these punks that have recently arrived think this forum is their own personal bathroom stall and some of us don't mind telling them to fuuck off. Their parents have partially failed them and so unfortunately it has fallen to us. Let's just accept this responsibility and move on. And for you more skin-thinned decent folk, I suggest you use the report button and your ignore list so that your experience here can be a pleasant one.

And I third the ignore thread concept.

I'm working on a program to bring more developers into the Maemo fold. Community outreach stuff. Raising the maturity level should help in that regard, which will benefit us all.

That said, I realize many of my own posts haven't helped. They've been made in frustration over moderation policies, but that doesn't excuse it. Mea culpa.

I'm against political correctness, but I'm definitely for more civility all around.
high five.

Maybe we could add a Flame War forum and let OrangeBox ("This community is full of egotistical, i-know-it-all type geeks") and That One Guy ("We're turning into a society of Politically Correct Vaginas") sit in there and throw feces at each other.

Seriously, it would be nice to have a thumbs down for a post as well as a thanks.

Seen, read, and thumbed.

I've been participating in the forum improvement thread and brainstorm as well but while it's easy enough to follow the thread, I find myself not bothering to check brainstorm as often as I should.

Yes very true, perhaps not the best analogy in that remark. My point was simply that in any contact with end-users there will be questions coming at you constantly and probably 90% of them are just repeats. This is just something you have to deal with, and I think the same thing will probably happen here.

If it helps with the motivation my customers were usually out the door in 20min, whereas people here stick around, so being rude to them creates a lot more headaches in the future.

i do wonder how many times i have gotten a "can't you just do it?" when i have pointed someone to a howto about something they asked about (generic, not this forum in particular).

hell, i recently read that people have returned perfectly working products because they could not get something to work. A something that was clearly spelled out in the manual for said product...

all in all, a person may be a professor. But outside the field of expertice, may be no better then homer...

Well this is it really, we're all good at something but we're also all stupid at something.

A lot of the people who find computers difficult aren't stupid people in general, they just don't understand computers.

Not necessarily... just means we get to be mean to them over, and over, and over again..... which can be fun in it's own right... ;)

(I am, of course, joking..)
