Well, even though you were right (I feel the exact opposite), there is nothing the community of maemo.org can do to "fix" this.

Anyone can register and comment on this forum and can express their thought. The most irrespective ones , I am sure, are talked to and warned to behave.

And I am also sure that the iPhone users are NOT more civilised than us for two reasons:

1) they are people like us
2) I had to leave a mac-only list because I was complaining about Apple and their lies to their users. And not ranting, but discussing. And not a random mac list, but a friends mac list.

So, accept this fact, filter/ignore users that attack you personally (particularly if they have no reason to do so) and live happy(*)

(*): friends are hard to find because they are hidden by a vast majority of selfish people. I, for one, I am more than happy for having removed a selfish guy from this long list. I may find it easier to find the good ones.
