Re: Tablet Advocacy

What, you mean you're still *here* ?! You should be in Finland already, widda gals ! :-)

Re: Tablet Advocacy

I leave Friday morning.

Still scrambling to prepare, too. There was a snafu with my new corporate credit card that gave me panic today... lol. The solution requires me to work from home tomorrow so I can sign for the overnight delivery, so that worked out. :D

Re: Tablet Advocacy

Pretty good snafu indeed :-)
Well, Godspeed then !

Re: Tablet Advocacy

As I noted in another post here, I somehow became the lightning rod for a few (or one) malcontents here. That was never my intention. I will not be a deliberate participant in disrupting this otherwise decent forum. believe it or not, I actually hate drama.

So, I'm taking a vacation at the least. I'm not happy with recent events or the nature of the discussion afterward (which I believe has been largely based on misrepresentation of the facts). I'm sure there will be some snide comments about "taking my ball and going home" but nothing could be further from the truth. If my active participation runs the risk of inciting drama, whether I've actually done anything inappropriate or someone just thinks I have, then I'm not serving my original purpose. On that note, I will quote a PM I sent to one member here:

Quote:

in an ideal world no one should worry about reputation on an internet forum but the main reason I participate is to help bridge Nokia and the community-- because I care about the product I helped deliver with a passion.

As nebulous as internet forum credibility may be, it's all I have to use on the forum. I am forbidden to mention my exact role and other data pertinent to the devices. Therefore what I don't need is someone like euchreprof casting aspersions on my character and undermining my mission. And I'm not being merely petulant if I say those personal attacks will lead me to leave-- there is no point in my participation if whatever shred of credibility I have built up is undermined by character assassination.

Personally, I don't give a crap. Professionally I must, if I'm to stick around. I'd like to think you guys would Get That. To an extent I *have* to defend myself if I am to be the bridge I am trying to be. Usually, I will use deflection rather than outright confrontation. But sometimes I slip.

Granted, I've shot myself in the foot on occasion. The price of being a passionate human. But if the forum can get back to a lower level of drama it won't be hard for me to regain whatever standing I've lost.

Anyway, I'm amazed that some of the smarter members here are seriously miscontruing and misrepresenting what went on in that stupid thread. The original debacle and a false rehash serve to corrupt the spirit of the forum. I'd appreciate a truly honest, unbiased approach to the subject if we're going to discuss it.

Thanks.

I may or may not be back. However, rest assured I will at least complete fulfilling the N800 face plate requests I have outstanding. I have truly enjoyed the real and virtual friendships I've established in the short time I've been here.

Please don't feed the trolls. ;)

Peace.

Re: Tablet Advocacy

I hope you don't leave, but think a short break might be a good idea so that you can recharge the batteries and allow the hoohah of the last few days to die down. Enjoy Finland, forget about this forum for a week or two then come back when your enthusiasm for all things 770 and N800 gets the better of you! :)

I am not an obsessive poster nor do I usually engage in a flamewar kind of thing. But you almost got me into one where there was absolutely no need.
The kind of person it takes to accomplish that are of a kind I don't like to be around because they have a bad influence on almost everything.

I think this forum doesn't need posters like you, wether you have good insight or not. And you have good insight, you must have; You keep telling us in every single post you make. (...)
