Some just do not like negativity and subscribe to the, "If you can't say anything nice..." policy. I suspect they must all be Canadians...  (Hey, stop throwing the Molsen bottles, that was a compliment.)
Others likely get their hackles up when someone without mention of a Kobo in their Device list starts in as they probably feel it's trolling, and it often is. Kobo has features others don't and sometimes owners of other equipment feel they must stop by and criticize the Kobo failings while conveniently ignoring the pluses. Maybe they just feel inadequate? |
Regarding those you suspect of trolling, I am not sure all of them are. I can assure you for instance that Jon, who is often accused of doing so, in this board or in others, is not. He thinks differently, and although it can be annoying at time, he is just trying in his best way to express that. What may look like trolling, or very stubborn and repetitive attitude is not. It is not an attitude he is projecting, it is his way of trying to meet us half way. I recognize the pattern very well, again I can assure you he is not trolling, and I really wish the world was more tolerant to people whose brains work differently, because Jon is making the effort to try to make us see what he sees and understand better.
Enough said, I just hope you understand it. And that in general this board here will learn to be much more tolerant, because according to the Ks and the PMs received after my last post (thank you all for the support btw), there is much work to do and I am by far not the only one saying so. I'd have to check, but some of the positive feedback might even have come from Canadians.
