Respect, care, they goes both way you know.
If you treat people like crap, don't be surprised to be treated like crap in return.

Time and again (although I should know better by now) I find your responses very illogical:
1) You state that Nook is crap because it is "US-only". "Crap" is a very harsh sentiment for someone who is offended every single time someone says something negative about Bookeen. And you don't even care to give any opinion about the device itself, to you it's obviously enough that the company is focusing on the US market to slander them.
Not that I have any personal opinion about the Nook (I know to little about it) but I think you should stick to your own moral standards and drink what you preach.
2) Respect? Care? We are talking about a "company" here, not about certain people who work there (and if someone made fun about the programmers it's certainly not personal as we all do not know a single programmer on a personal level).
I strongly believe in treating people respectfully but struggle how to deal "respectfully" with Nestlé, Microsoft or .... Bookeen.
That doesn't mean that I am in favour of mindless flaming in posts and messages to Bookeen. I fully agree with you that there is no need to use foul language or just say "Bookeen is crap" without giving any arguments.
3) Recently the discussions here showed a tendency towards being less funny and more aggressive, even insulting. I used to enjoy making light-hearted fun, so I participated. I don't like dirt-flinging contests, so I withdrew a bit.
Even though I don't quite understand why you take the things people say about Bookeen so personally when you claim to be not affiliated with them in any way but I accept that those constant yells seem to have made you bitter and aggressive. So I can only repeat Prof. Julie's question: Why do you choose to wrestle with people in threads which are - from the subject line alone - clearly recognizable as a mental hygiene for people who are frustrated about Bookeen.
There are plenty of threads here that are constructive and you choose to ruin your day by entering a yelling contest against someone who is not willing to listen. Why? If you strongly feel that there is always hope to bring a "Bookeen hater" back to a normal level, then you should reconsider your strategy. Don't yell at someone who is already shouting, don't try to stop someone insulting by insulting that person yourself.
Please, don't take all this so seriously. I have been reading your comments for months by now and I never, ever have you stooped so low as to insulting someone personally. I hope it was just something you had to get out of your system and feel better now that you released some steam. I would really feel sorry if the comments here have made you bitter, after all we're a *community* here and you're "part of the family"...
