Have did I wish ill on users? I do point out the depressing state of things and I HAVE pointed out how Maemo would do better (and it seems I'd been right, looking at the competition) but what you're effectively asking for it outright censorship of opinion and criticism.

Perhaps you would do better to listen to the criticism when it's constructive and ignoring or, or simply not participating, when it's not constructive. If I'm doing something outright bad or against the rules or something, then it'd be fair to report me.

An abundance of cynicism about Maemo and MeeGo after our history here with Maemo isn't exactly unexpected and doesn't appear to be generally unappreciated given the way people HAVE thanked me.

Here's one for you, though, can you tell me how you're being constructive right now? How about letting me know how Maemo's offerings can benefit me or other users better? ...and then! Let me tell you what I think. ...and then, other people can join in tell you what they think! It might EVEN turn into a conversation! :P Instead of telling people you don't agree with to shut up. heh

It'd be GREAT if Maemo could actually be shaped by those conversations, but that's part of the problem that bred the despair and cynicism, isn't it?

Actually.. that's an objective and fair enough answer for any particular individual.. but then the poll is a handy way to get an overall impression from many individuals.
