2. This is a device specific area. The Apple area should be a place for owners of iPads, iPhones and iPods Touches to discuss their devices, and for people interested in learning about them to ask questions of owners.
i.e. just like the other device specific forums here. Rather than being dragged down by posts from people that just hate Apple and add nothing by just bashing devices (and Apple generally) they don't own or have interest in buying.
Having a thread about the lack of printing is fine--though it seems and unreasonable expectation for a media consumption slate running a smartphone OS. Silly bashing posts like the above don't add anything to this topic nor this subforum.

1. Yes, of course. We should all stick to mature discussion like scottjl's "go crawl back under your bridge" comment - real mature.
2. It is device specific, yes, but I do not believe that that implies no criticism allowed? Whilst jswinden's "iKluge" comment was possibly less than helpful, I don't think that scottjl's response was any better. Your discussion of whether or not an iPad needs a print facility given its intended usage was the kind of discussion I'd expect to see on this forum.
