Anyone who thinks the n900 is less than perfect is referred to as a troll, has their opinions dismissed, and gets bashed.
I do a google news search on the n900 every day to see what's up, and yet I don't feel the urge to personally insult people who don't like the device.
I mean if I were a mod I would at least delete those offensive posts and warn the users who wrote them..
But the moderators aren't the problem, we are..
I understand it's irritating, but who cares if someone came to bash the n900? If you disagree let it sink..
What I'm trying to say is- Can't we all just.. Get along?
I am a bit split opinions in this case.

I do understand your concern about people being bashed or harassed. But most of the time I criticised a functionality or any given part of the N900 I tried to do it by explaining rationally why I think this or that could be improved by pursuing a certain solution to the problem itself and I never faced any harassment whatsoever by follow ups of the community.

I did not see posts that where really offensive when people had the right arguments WHY the iphone performs better in this or that category.

the only time I saw people bashed is when they've started threads with "why the n900 is a piece of crap compared to device xy" or similar and pursued the same kind of attitude throughout their posts. call me ignorant but as my Granny always says: "We reap what we sow!"

This is a community about Maemo and Maemo supporters, so if you have complaints and problems, explain yourself kindly and you will see people will help you out.

All I want to say is I don't go into iPhone Community forums writing why I think the iPhone is a piece of crap, because

1. Useless waste of time, it will just raise the blood pressure of a lot of iPhone users.
2. I don't care about the iPhone, so why should I try to offend people who like it?! just not worth the time...
3. Absolutely no one will benefit from such a post.
