Which is fine.. but we don't need them to be argumentative, negative, childish, flagrant, or immature.

There is a place for community forums.. they are my preference to manufacturers as well. But because it's a community forum people should understand that the other person on the other end of the computer is just average joe like you and me. It's not a nokia rep, not a maemo OS dev, not on company dime. (the person could HAPPEN to work for nokia, or designed Maemo, but their job is not these forums.) As such, people should be spoken to with respect, and if you feel the need to rant then fine: But clearly state in your post that you are ranting because you're frustrated.. and refrain from calling anyone else, or the community, stupid and egotistical.

A rant about something generic or annoying is one thing... a rant at something or someone specific is entirely different.

ETA: And once you vet your frustration.. leave it at that. It's out there. Don't feel the need to repetitively post the exact same complaints in every thread even remotely related to an N900 because yours has the problem XYZ.
