It's even more unproductive to complain about people giving their opinion in a third party forum.

People are not coming to you with their opinions. It's you coming to a public forum and reading them. If you don't like what you get to read here why don't you just stay away?

'Censoring' critical opinion is something entirely different from expressing positive experiences. Not to understand this distinction is - to borrow your wording - kind of dumb.
This forum used to be helpful to learn about how to deal with the KOBO firmware. I.e. whether to update or not and how to work around some bugs, undesired and/or missing features and unhappy design changes.
But since the (very vocal and seemingly unconditionally loyal) KOBO-lover brigade assumed this zero-tolerance stance and stepped up their efforts to censor or discredit most critical opinion, it is now rather tiresome to read through lengthy threads in order to find the few bits of valuable information they may contain.
