Speak for yourself, Texrat.

I am a totally hyped-up fanboy/moderator that does nothing* about any of the hostility of the members here, neither for nor against Nokia.

I actually have utter disdain for both camps.

The Maemo division of Nokia has made some amazing devices, and I think they're some of the best mobile devices ever designed, but they're a bunch of people, just like us, and they make mistakes, sometimes big ones. They also make lots of choices that I don't agree with. But Nokia's a big company that has to make a profit for its shareholders, and they've got lots of focus groups who tell them what people really like, and I'm just some hyped-up fanboy/moderator guy, so what do I know?

The long, tedious threads where people yell at each other about how crappy the Nokia product they purchased is or how crappy some competitor's product is are really boring for me. They're all the same thread, over and over. I think the passionate defenders are worse than the trolls, because it looks to me like they're getting totally played... and, even stranger to me, like some kind of weird fetishists, they seem to actually like it. I mean, why would you keep arguing with trolls unless it turned you on somehow?

Thus spake the qole.
