Isn't the problem you mention the same with every forum and community ? I don't believe that Maemo community, even if it is somewhat specific, will escape this fact that many people will be rude from time to time, will not respect you as much as you would like ... And eventually some members will start stupid fights just because they like to fight about ... oh well, pretty anything not so significant. About the big picture of Maemo community ... yes, it's more than just helping, resolving issues, because of the OS developpment part ... you're right ... and this is mabye the major quality of our NIT ... Anyway, as this part of the project is still community-driven, the rules of internet communities still apply, be coutious, protect yourself, especially if you are sometimes sensitive (sensitivity is a quality too).
