I can't fall into lockstep like that. I don't do it with Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix, corporate America... I just can't do it.

Hey, we need guys like you also - who will questions things - otherwise we Maemo guys will only be patting each other on the back - and then what difference between us and the iPhone fans ?

But be prepared to also be questioned in return - and only keep this is mind - nothing is personal.

I agree that is doing journalism. However, what I think is that he is doing bad journalism.

By the same token (reviewing on a prototype device and passing a final judgement), his review tweets about how the N900 was the best device of the year or some such pronouncement when he was praising the N900 and Maemo - was also BAD journalism.

But we didn't question him then. We just licked it up.

I am not trying to justify Eldar's recent statement or his crash reports, but just saying we should have applied the same standard of critique when he was positively reviewing it and called him on it.

Yeah. Though I'm just entering this discussion and finding out just who Eldar is. I don't think I even read his positive review about it (not sure if I even read it..)

Hmm wonder if I made a post in that thread..

True, so maybe nilchk's "we" wasn't all-inclusive.

Get that mouse out of your pocket.
