Or coming here--to a forum for LCD screen devices--and bashing LCD screens for reading etc.
Trolling is just any posting where the poster isn't contributing to constructive criticism, but is rather posting inflammatory crap to try to rile people up and start arguments.
The device forum areas should be places for owners to discuss the pros and cons of their products , software, news about them etc., and for people who are interested in the device to ask questions of owners and learn more about the device.
Not a place for people who dislike the company, screen technology etc. to come and slam it to stir stuff up. If those debates have to take place, they should be in general discussions, not the device specific areas.

I don't think you right, about device forum area part that is.
People coming here as you said interested in device, so I think it's ok for them to hear both sides of the story. Especially when they ask about comparison, what now god forbid if there will be two sides /gasp?
Just because somebody said they don't like iPad or LCD for reading on this thread - is NOT a flame bait.
Plus, it is not iPad forum people with iPhones allowed here are they not?
And for god sake, will it make a difference for you if an owner of iPad starts making negative comment about magical device vs the one who played with it for an hour at apple store? Or all negative = flame bait for you?
