Crude jokes without paying mind as to who is in your company is extremely rude. I think it's entirely fair to expect better from this forum, certainly a higher level of discussion than say, 4chan or some other anonymous forum.
It's even worse when the rudeness is followed by more rudeness, especially to someone who has apparently been a member for years longer.
These people made reference to the scam emails most other countries receive from Nigeria. I donīt think anyone necessarily expects bigbrova to be sending those out personally, but thatīs probably what people think of when Nigeria comes to mind. And that is entirely up to the Nigerians themselves to change.

It was a silly little joke and this whole discussion is rediculously touchy feely. Over-and-out.
Icelanders get made fun of for the banking collapse all the time and rednecks in the Southern US for well, being rednecks. Swedes make fun of Finns and Norwegians. Danes make fun of Swedes, Icelanders and Norwegians and on and on and on it goes. No big harm.

Please do not judge the Maemo community by what is going on in these monster threads. There are quite a few spoiled children in them that were never taught patience and respect for others. Not everyone, but some. Things should clear up quite a bit once the device is released and people go back to their lives or other interests (toys).

"qrpkgrl (1 week ago) It cost me nothing, and it's not out yet - It's a review unit, and I only get to keep it for a few weeks. "
