Not much use for people 100% opposed to a device to frequent the device's forum.

I have no problem with it when it's limited to a thread like this that's discussing a devices shortcomings though.

As long as there's not more people posting threads about it not being an e-reader because it's not e-ink, Pixel QI etc., trolling in threads not about the pros/cons of the device it's all good. And I think those threads were all threads that got moved over from the News & Commentary forum anyway.
I want to make it clear I am not 100% opposed to the device, or I really would not be in this forum. Neither am I trolling here. I and others are just voicing our opinions in a polite and open matter so that everyone can discuss them. The device is not even out, so everybody is still sitting on the sidelines and thinking about the pros and cons, "should we get one". That is what my comments are all about. I sincerely hope we don't want to turn each device forum into an "admiration society" for the makers of that device and any negative points, however valid, are being taken as personal insults.
