Let's get a things straight. Maemo.org does not represent Nokia (or the other way around) - it's an enthusiast community of various people, some users, some developers, some Nokians, some students, some unaffiliated, etc. People, however, often take this confrontational stance when they 'discover' a Nokian here - why did Nokia do this or that, why is something (not) working one way or the other, or go into writing these 'goodbye' letters and more often than not it ends up in useless mudslinging/flaming. This "but why can't I express my dissatisfaction" I never quite got. You can do it of course, but why are you surprised that people talking about how the Force sucks will be booed on a Star Wars Convention ? If you have an issue with whatever happens in SW or Star Trek, you should address Paramount or George Lucas, not the fans/people/communities involved in the respective 'platforms'.

That said, there ARE official Nokia forums (and of course Nokia care) where people are free to go to and unleash all their insight. See

or

http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...20-Maemo-MeeGo

etc, etc.
