Good luck with that one.
Sure. Blind devotion to one side or the other doesn't make for interesting conversations at all. To me the dividing line, which as nekokami mentioned earlier is a subtle one, is there is a difference between someone posting what features they personally like/dislike/need/hate in a product/company, and someone telling the rest of us what we should collectively like/dislike/need/hate in a product/company.

And again, I think there are different forums for a reason. The general and rants forums are great for people to rant about whatever. The Apple forum, like the Kindle forum and the Nook forum, are places where people INTERESTED in using those specific products are encouraged to congregate and share their knowledge. I just (personally) don't believe the product specific forums are for people who hate/have no interest in a product to constantly post about their dislike for the product, how the company does business, and how their CEO is forcing me to do things his way all the time To me, that is not conducive to an enjoyable, informative forum atmosphere that I'd be interested in participating in for long.

But, that's just me.
