As is often the case with some, if an opinion is contrary to theirs, they will find a way to change the conversation to one that they have prepared talking points for.

My opinion was not based on any belief in a Utopia or even a new world order. In fact I actually stated that.. "I don’t agree with this, but it happens".

I posted that

No where did I even say that I believed this was Nokia's intent. In a subsequent post I said "The fact that portrait mode would require a little effort on the users part or need a third parties involvement may, in the future prove prudent"

...again an opinion different than yours.

Lets recap shall we?

How do my above, highlighted (in bold) words add up to a statement of fact?

(A rhetorical question. Please don't answer. I concede, you win. I get the message.)
YoDude I never posted an opinion on the portrait mode subject nor do I care about it.

What you posted ¨...recently there was a Washington DC subway accident that killed 9. In both cases a possible cause stated was "operator distracted while text messaging.." is incorrect. Metro (who is part of the official investigation team) never release such a statement. Yes it was stated by whomever but it was not true. For anyone to quote/print statements that has no facts to support it I feel is acting reckless.

That driver died trying to stop that train. That is a fact. YoDude there is no more I have to say on this.

Sorry people for hijacking this tread.
