That position really puzzled me. After that, people were arguing about the question... and how I was so wrong for just asking. Like I said, my rant has little to do with this post in particular, but with a toxic attitude in general from old members here who think they can bully anyone.

Quoth for instance stated that he would prefer other possibilities to a Send to Kindle clone. JSWolf complained that a Send to Kobo would not allow him to send metadata and rather politely for him, stated it would bloat the firmware size and for a feature that he didn't think we needed.
I personally see little use
FOR ME for that feature. Would I prefer Kobo to spend their developers' time on items that I would find of more use? Should I not state that opinion for fear of hurting someone's feelings?
As for what I saw about asking? No one criticized you for asking the question. What they did criticize was that when they answered the question your poll asked, how I read what you said was that wasn't what you really meant and we should have answered the title of the thread so it was the other posters who were wrong. Look at your response to my post quoted below:

More that this poll asked 'Would you like a "Send to Kobo" service like Kindle?'. My response was no.

Come on... You're just playing with words, here. Even if the question didn't use "you", the answers would have been the same.

Oddly several other posters seemed to disagree with you.
And when I asked you what formats Kobo should allow for Send to Kobo since Amazon does
NOT permit sending formats used by their ereaders to be sent to Send to Kindle with the assumption that you already knew that Send to Kindle does not allow mobi, azw3/KF8, KFX or other Amazon formats to be sent to their service? Your suggestion was kepub as the format to be sent to the service.
