But try to even ask about short battery life in any iPod touch model, especially on the official Apple forums, and you can expect to be called every name in the book. Apple turns a blind eye to such rude and unjust behavior. However if you retaliate to their vulgar name calling by simply calling them fanboys Apple will ban you for life from their forums. So what I'm trying to say here is that there is little incentive for the average Apple device owner to criticize any device as they have certainly seen what the anonymous loyalists will do to them. They surely won't get a legitimate answer to their question or a workaround to their problem, so why bother....

That is interesting. There is one other type blog/forum that is typically very thin skinned one way.
The purpose of this "one way only" type attitude is to fan the fever pitch of the majority. Anyone not in harmony is simply called a troll and banned to the cheers and affirmations of the majority.
