I can remember all the threads where you used to literally be seen as a piece of meat to all the hungry lions on this forum in the N900 days :P

But back to the topic, it seems this is just an unfortunate phase and as said by others, other eco systems community have a much worse fanboy issue then us.

I think a main solution would be to maybe get a few more moderators who can not only help and try to resolve any pointless conflict, but also remove and unwanted or unhelpful users from the forum.

All societies have rules, and all rules need some kind of enforcing, whether it be a gentle nudge for a fanboyish user to reduce his provoking posts or threads, or even a 'cease and desist' warning so anybody consistently breaking the TMO rules is simply removed from the community.

Something like that could only help, as long as the mods aren't too strict.

Otherwise its just a matter of waiting for the "iPhoneish/Androidish" crowd to follow their only last for 6 months" policy and they will soon have sold off their N9's an gotten all of the "super"phones produced today and in the future.

We don't buy Maemo/MeeGo/Harmatta because its the latest tech and it opens stuff fast with fancy animations, we buy it because we like it, and if theres something we don't like, we can just open up X-term and change it.

I got an N900 and never even touched a terminal, now I prefer to actually install and copy files across via X-Term instead of the GUI methods
