Sure. (Sorry about being so abstruse, BTW. Bad habit. I'll try to be more plain hereafter.)

Here you are, the content of your original post that I am addressing, albeit editied for purposes of length and removal of needless redundant message.

Where are you going to?

In order for me to simplify things for you, maybe you will allow me to quote another user who I think hits the nail right on the head in his/her analysis. That user writes:

And in lieu of further exhaustive explanations on my part, please allow me to direct you to some more links for everyone's edification regarding that user's point.

Loaded question, Loaded language

Both of these concepts, I might add, are forms of overtly persuasive language, and when used for a particular purpose, can be considered as propoganda.

So, whether you are truly as disingenuous as you are presenting yourself to be, or not, you should still understand that a) coming onto a message board that exists for the purpose of providing a forum for a particular product, and to then b) proceed to discredit that product, and to then c) espouse a competitor's product, and to d) subsequently implore that the users of said forum should seriously consider abandoning their particular product, in favor of the product you are espousing: all of this amounts to shilling (yes, good word! but not for Nokia, you big silly! rather for the competitor's product, isn't it obvious?).

To summarize today's lesson: you are quite possibly shilling for a competitor using a technique known as stealth marketing by introducing agitprop to demoralize and confuse forum users, using a method known as loaded language.

Class dismissed!
