i guess intolerance is a somewhat excessive a word in at least the 1st context (posters about other platforms)

a few weeks ago there were a couple TMOers who decided to replace their N900 with an Android device & created a thread to tell this.
mostly to thank the community for the nice time they had on TMO, using their N900s & all the apps on 'em
most replies were along the line of "sorry to see you go, good luck with your new device..."
some were insulting but not to an extend that moderators stepped in.

general argument "this and this app / OS / device is better then Maemo / N900 / N9"
most of the time it is obviously trolling.
the general rule (don't feed the troll) should apply but... not everybody has the discipline / ness to follow suite
calling TMO intolerant because of trolls?
whether they are only & purely trolls or whether they are just "fanboys" from another platform doesn't really matter.
don't like Maemo & Co.?
why do you come to TMO...

inexperienced users & questions thereof...
yes, most "noobs" are lazy but...

• vbulletin's search feature simply sucks, plain & dumb
• using Google to search TMO helps tremendously, but not everybody has learned to tame Google & get over all the "Sgam". or they tried but then found TMO and... what do you expect?
