Nate,

In my experience there is a definite bias against LCD. Individuals offering opinions against the majority of e-ink owners or even by suggesting there is a bias here are subject to ridicule and attack. I offer two examples:

In this thread ( https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59937 ) I suggested to Mr Turcic, the thread's originator, that 1) setting up new forums appeared arbitrary (it can be when one person decides to set a minimum number of required posts and doesn't disclose that figure, allowing that number to change at will) and 2) there was a bias at MR. My bias suggestion was ignored and an explanation was never given as to why it took 18 months to implement a Jetbook (LCD) forum. A poster and myself were subsequently attacked by another poster. Mr. Turcic, who I assume is also a moderator, was silent as these attacks occured. Instead of defending people of the right to voice their opinion, by remaining silent the attacks were encouraged. If a forum moderator allows this to occur then why should anyone think that MobileRead is anything but unbiased.

In this thread (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79623) someone ran a poll in the General Discussion forum which posed the question of the two which [screen] technology was better overall. The poll was getting swamped in favor of e-ink. After reviewing the voter demographics, I suggested that the poll results could have been invalid. I was attacked and accused of "berating" people who favor e-ink and of having called them "unworthy". It seems that people who do not go with the groupthink are not only marginalized but are sometimes abused.

Thank you for the opportunity to address this concern.
