I'm done trying to analyze the spastic behavior of maemo.org detractors... So here it is - straight from the source!!

Figures... once they have a soapbox they are all silent

there is still time, they will come..

I'm not sure if I'm in the detractors camp.. overall, I'm not a fan of the N900 and Maemo 5 itself is pretty good. I personally come here repeatedly in the hopes of finding something relevant and new regarding either the N800 I already have or for a suitable new upgrade (which the N900 is not).

I come here because I want to... any problem?

Same here! Totally agree with rpgAmazon. And I am a fanboy, not like him!

You left off "I was tricked into buying a Nokia product and can't write off $x00"

you forgot something... maybe such users are not loaded and are now stuck on long term unhappy contracts which they cannot get out...

This is not slagging off the great hardware device that the n900 is, but the truth is the lack of top apps seen in other platforms...

I'm here because of my N810, the fact that Diablo isn't fully open sourced yet - closed bits are in the way of many updates and Nokia has a WONTFIX mentality that annoys me to a new level - and (had) hopes that Maemo 5 would get me away from other, more closed options.

Hasn't happened for me. The other folks though... I will say one thing. If I were to ever troll any place, I would troll the hell out of here. Or perhaps Disney.

If somebody strolls into the heavily utilized (one of the biggest forums on the internet) Disney forums and say something negative about Disney, they are absolutely swarmed with death threats.

Here... same thing. If people were to react less and ignore that type of behavior, it might curb that kind of stuff from happening.

If you didn't agree with yourself I'd have to wonder. But at least each personality has an identity.
