[Galaxy S III General] ManCityFC:
Well, I spend a day away from this thread and look at what it has become. It seems the big boys have come onto the park and want to stop the younger kids playing. Pathetic.

I'll not name names, not quote specific quotes, because the judge is the jury on here - and it's impossible to make a point when someone can just put a noose around your neck and throw the lever.

But what i will say, is some of the pretentious dross spewed out by senior members, that I have read over the last 10 pages has made me fume. There is an irony, though, telling people to grow up then acting like the class bully. Who on earth do some people think that they are?

It is perfectly acceptable in all walks of life to peacefully but powerfully ask for change. Nobody is trying to hurt anyone. Nobody is being disrespectful. But still people who disagree with it have to deflate the situation and pour cold water over it by flexing a muscle that others don't have access to. You really are utterly childish and know full well that you hold all the cards that leaves others with an inability to retaliate. I can hear the fear of being banned in their posts.

The whole point of this was because we have developers walking away from our device, and it seems development is going to come to a virtual standstill because we don't have the information we need to improve. When people ask, and get no answers then they take to the streets and peacefully protest. That isn't wrong. I've had 3 dev's join in with me personally.

Samsung owe us nothing we're told, but who here bought the device specifically to run custom ROMs, and are now stuck with a device having to run a lackluster OEM bloated ROM because they can't afford a new phone, and are very upset as they expected it to be a great purchase? What now, do we all get loans out and buy a Nexus and admit defeat?

I'm on my 5th Android phone and haven't seen developers hit a brick wall like this before. So I, and others are trying to peacefully affect a change. We're told that the devs asked, and were told "no". We're told that petitions have fallen on deaf ears before, so what do we do now? Let the grown-ups ask nicely again and again and the little people should just keep their noses out of things that don't concern them, because they're too ignorant to understand. Come on. That isn't the real world.

But yes, according to some we should just sit on our hands and live with it....sorry, but no. If I feel upset and angry at any company, then they will be told. If they don't listen, I vote with my wallet in future - and I know I'm not the only one, too. Samsung are under no uncertain terms about this now....and likely a few potential new customers.

Honestly, I am so furious with some of the utterly negative reactions by senior members of this website. To want the same thing but complain because you want to be objectionable and play devils advocate is ridiculous, shame on you, especially when you know full well that sending petitions to Samsung - will only result in it being filed in B1N.

Personally, I say, as I say on any thread, if you don't like it, fine, keep quiet and walk away.....but I am guessing that won't happen and this thread will be locked within 24 hours anyway.

Rather upsetting.
