Instead, we're discussing different interpretations of the english language as used in a thread that is more than 6 months old and came to fame only because of trantrums and dramas by a person who allegedly didn't even own a Jolla device. I do accept that for some people, whatever they read in this thread may have caused negative emotions towards the company. The important thing for me is that if this is all the storm is about, I needn't change my mind any time soon.
(And it could have turned out differently. It could have been that there really are serious issues one should keep an eye on.)

Whenever you have to start rationalizing what the word "transparent" means, you probably aren't being very transparent.

But it doesn't even matter what transparent means. I'm not saying Jolla needs to be transparent, even. I'm saying it would be beneficial for them to be more transparent than they are now and have offered some cases where I think more openness would have actually improved their public image, instead of hurt it. If Jolla would think about keeping their image shiny a little less and instead communicated with brutal honesty a little more, I think that would serve them and the community well.

That is of course just my opinion, but it is not made out of malice or to hurt Jolla. fk_lx may be out for his revenge by now, but that certainly isn't the case for many of us who feel this way for much more simple and less personal reasons.
