[General Topics] eaglesteve:
Who exactly are you PosonWolf? Are you working for Microsoft or HTC? I notice from your past postings that you seems to be always leading the charge in tearing down whoever has anything positive to say about iPhone.

Let me just say a few things here:

1) I do not think the members here are so easily manipulated that they need you to regulate what they could read or how they should think.

2) If you feel that this thread is a waste of time and invoke your anger, there are millions more elsewhere. You don't need to deliberately look out for threads not meeting your criteria of acceptability, then attempt to use the most gangster-like, provocative, and bullyish language to make yourself angry. What's wrong with you?

3) I have specifically requested in my opening post that this thread is not for people like you. Can't you just respect other's request and just stay away?

4) I don't get the impression that you own this forum, although you're trying to order me to be out of this forum completely. Further, if you actually own this forum, you do not have any rule that says an ex-winmo user is not allowed to talk about iPhone, and an iPhone user is not allowed to explore Android side by side with the next iPhone.

5) If there is a rule on this forum that says an ex-winmo user is not allowed to talk about iPhone, and an iPhone user is not allowed to explore Android side by side with the next iPhone, please kindly point it out for me. I will definitely respect the rule and leave right away.

6) I tried very hard to find out if my posting is against the forum rules. The question that I wanted answered was if the discussion about non-HTC phones is prohibited on this forum. and this and this are the closest I manage to dig up. As far as my understanding goes, nothing in this new ruling says that Android vs iPhone comparision are prohibited here. If there is such a rule that I have failed to notice, can someone, the moderator, or the administrator, or the reader mention it here once and for all. I will respect the rules and leave the forum for good. Such a forum does not deserve my patronage anyway if it is one that tightly monitors free speech and controls what they want their reades to see. I would go to other forum which respects free speech as long as civility, courteosy, and other appropriate rules are followed. A forum that prohibit its readers from coming into contact with information they deem threatening to their supported product yet pretending to be an non-vendor based and open forum is not where I want to be.

7) I could have chosen to start this thread on an iPhone forum. But what's the point of asking iPhone fanboys what Android could do? I'm putting myself in a forum where my viewpoints on Android can be challenged. That's why I invited everyone to participate here. If my intention is to mislead the gullible users swaying them away from Android toward iPhone, I would not have send out so many invitation to the Android users (which according to some of you are mostly developers and technically competent people, therefore must be in a good position to provide the correct information on Android). My approach has been to leave question marks seeing answers if I do not already know the answer. But it does not mean that people can't correct wrong information assumed by me.

I do not have the ability to censor any posting, so everyone is free to speak. I don't have the ability to manipulate people's opinion with incorrect information as you claim.

If my desire is to bash Android and feel good about iPhone, then that's what I would have done. Further, I already know what iPhone could do, so not much help is needed on that side of comparision. Therefore, iPhone forums are the wrong forum for me to do a good job in comparision.

8) Are you the owner of this forum? Or a moderator? Or administrator? If none of the above, in what capacity are you doing all these moderating and censoring work? Are you or the moderators/adminstrators running this forum?

9) As I have mentioned in my post #1, if you're an Apple hater, please go elsewhere to preach your hatred rather than coming here to litter this thread, or go start your own thread to bash Apple. I promise you not to step into your thread to defend Apple at all. If fact, I might even join to help you point out a few things I hate about Apple. Deal?

10) If you get very angry and upset with what I write on this thread, don't come to this thread. Just like if you're offended by pornography, don't click okay on the button that says you choose to come in and will not be offended by its content. Let others decide if they want to come in instead of forcing the webmaster to tear down his site. This open philosophy is actually the google way, if you're unaware. If you want to come in after clicking that warning sign, don't complain about being offended seeing the word iPhone because post #1 has warned you what this thread is all about. Also, different individuals have different concepts of what constitute offensive materials. Just because you find iPhone revolting does not mean that everyone else on this forum feel the same. I didn't force you to stalk all the iPhone threads and get angry after reading them. To seek out my thread and complain that you feel angry about it is as ridiculous as clicking on the consent button of a porn site then ***** about how much the contents upset you.
