with forums there's lots of personalities and people in general believe they are correct. the majority of us will act on here as we do in person (mostly) but there will be people who use these tech forums to feel superior, to outshine someone with their abilities of either technical skills, whit, spelling or ability to quote things that sound clever. lots of people have problems with socialising and interacting with people and by arguing or trolling they are getting attention they need. many don't know how to get the communication going with people any other way, or they try and fail and return to just provoking. some are bored and it kills time. some are just plain arrogant and look down on the whole world.

i often dont agree with people or have a different perspective, and there are many times i would love to rub things in and prove someone wrong but it won't get me any satisfaction, and it just makes you look like an arrogant prick. i hate being wrong but i will always accept when i am. i also try to look at things from different angles. part of my job is analysing and figuring things out, looking at things differently. i've been described by the M.D of the company i work for as a strange thinker. i'm supporting people who have spent 5years college doing engineering master degrees and 5-15 years experience with these machines, telling them how to fix things, explaning problems and fixes etc.
Take into account i know no programming languages, have installed and played with linux since early debian and redhat but know next to nothing about using it properly. never been to college, did average in school. i'm a prime target for being looked down on and not being liked by those who have these skills etc.

but as marxian said
there is more to the success of a project that the technical attributes
jalyst, the best way to deal with people like that is to not respond as if they insulted you. if you act like you either didn't read it or realise they were being richardheads, then it will annoy them. thread carries on and they can't do anything about it. your enthusiasm and passion invites these from people though. many people are not happy with the n9 so people want an excuse to lash out.

The negative things like destroying, breaking, looking for flaws, hating, putting things or people down or only looking at the bad. All these things are easy, very easy. but they don't provide anything. they just take away. being positive is hard and it is even harder nowadays. but when you look past the flaws like you would your gf/bf/wife/husband/partner/bro/sis/mother/father etc you don't always point out their flaws and miss out on the good?

i'll stop writing as i'm rambling now and i don't proof read what i type cuz i'm lazy haha so woops i i don't make sense.

ps i agree with jalyst and with jnack95. one problem is too many UX's trying to be different. and another is not enough choice. a balance between the 2 would be nice.
