more generally, but also applicable to this thread, i feel, a lot of those fiery arguments could be avoided if ppl could agree to disagree.
of course, that requires above all respect for the other side's point of view.



and the willingness to formulate one's opinion in decent words.
which is useless if ppl don't want to invest the time to read the post but hit the quick reply button with some non-constructive remark
this may also help avoid that arguments become personal and insults start flying, but is of course not of any help with trolls.

just my 2 cents
have fun

EDIT: can i get a receipt for my tax declaration?
You have summed that up just about perfect and i cannot agree more with your points !.

This community is accessed by the world and that means anyone and everyone can join with no qualifications whatsoever, now IF that was not the case then we would have had a community based purely on members with the right qualifications for the meaning of Maemo.org and what it stood for.

That in turn would have made Nokia make the decision much easier to release in full as any developer requires the needed code for the development of Maemo and because it is a PUBLIC community, Nokia would have had problems from the off to open Maemo.

This community was wrong from the start being open as it is allowing anyone access and the very reason it has failed, the noise on here is astoundingly LOUD.

I was never prepared for the childish and humiliating backstabbing that goes on on here and could never really come to terms with it even to date, i hate it.

I held back on anything i could have done in full because of this and would have given much more than i have to help the dev's do there work but i felt it was pointless not long after i joined in feb last year.

The whole community is wrong from the top to the bottom, i feel it could have been thought out and put together lot lot more professionally.

Far too many people with varied interests beliefs and goals to unite any kind of organisation and that shows in the threads on here, instead of a common interest = the development of Maemo.

It is nothing more than a horrible battleground sometimes.
