Sad to say it, but after giving it a shot i'm now saying farewell to the PlayBook...
- Shout out to the OP... maybe I was a bit to harsh! But really I hope you can understand some of the positions taken in light of your little rant.02-19-12 07:34 AMLike 0

I understand the psychology of this forum and many of its users, yes.02-19-12 07:34 AMLike 0 - Speaking of the nature of the beast, posts like the OP should fall under the legal term "ought reasonably to have known". Posts saying "I'm switching to [insert competitor brand here] because I think it's better than Playbook" DO annoy a lot of people. I'm not referring to or discussing whether you agree with the topic or not, the simple fact is that they create discord. It's quite normal and understandable for people to get annoyed when you're inconsiderate enough to make them feel bad about things they own. Plain and simple. Therefore they should be moved to the appropriate forum (which in this case would be android). The moderators also agree with this because they DO move them. Frequently. In recent cases was an iPad thread just like this just days ago that was moved to the iPad/iPhone forum.
People who create these threads are those same type of people who will rain on your parade at a dinner party. You could start telling everyone how happy you are about the new car you just bought, and this personality type will then point out all the negative things about your new purchase.
"Oh, that's nice, but I heard they have bad brakes!"
"Oh dear, you actually bought one of those? I guess you didn't see the reviews they got..."
"My carmaker has a better..."
No normal person appreciates this kind of behavior. And don't let the " Anyway, it was great, hope you all continue to enjoy your Playbooks peace and love everyone!!" stuff fool you. It's an act. False sincerity, false humility, false goodwill are commonly known and recognized social tactics that have been utilized as effective verbal weapons in social circles by socialites for centuries. The more talented forum trolls you'll notice are quite good at this and manage to evade detection and banning longer.
Anyway, I digress. I'm reporting this thread to the moderators and in the explanation field I'll be requesting for it to be moved to the Android forum where it belongs. I suggest you folks do the same for this and all others like it as they come (and they always will), and it will get done. I've seen that the mods here are very good for taking care of troublesome posts as long as you offer a good explanation in your report field.02-19-12 07:37 AMLike 0 - Absolutely not true. I accept anyones opinion,l whetrher in agreement or disagreement, as long as its presented in a mature and reasonable fashion. 75% of the replies here are from childish and overdefensive knee-jerkers who didn't even pretend at presenting a decent response to my points, instead just telling me to "go to an Android forum" or some other immature response.
Then why are you still here? In your words, 3 out of ever 4 responses are childish and don't present decent responses. Do you really think that's going to change? There's a red X in the upper right hand corner - click it - should make your life easier.Chrisy likes this.02-19-12 07:37 AMLike 1 - I make the comment because you are infact still here. Why? Because it is an open forum? You have stated your points and they have merit but now it is time to go. After reading your initial post and subsequest replies I am forced to come to the conclusion that you are rolling in the thread you have created. I thought you were giving up on it, seems maybe you have a different agenda now.Chrisy and omniusovermind like this.02-19-12 07:38 AMLike 2

I like the user interface of QNX/BBX and I want to see RIM remain a player in the game. Besides, competition and the innovation it breeds is ultimately good for the consumer, regardless what (in this case) mobile operating system(s) you like.02-19-12 07:41 AMLike 0 - Hey we have to defend our Playbooks at all time.
It's like the guy that defends his wife when she gets criticized.
He loves her and knows why he loves her and knows
what makes her special to him. At the same
time still sees and knows her weak points, but makes adjustments
cause her high points make her so worth it and its
what keeps you from cheating on herralfyguy and alnamvet68 like this.02-19-12 07:41 AMLike 2 - I make the comment because you are infact still here. Why? Because it is an open forum?

I am still here because I made a post and I stand by it. The very fact I am still replying to the many childish, nonsensical and angry little posts as reasonably as I can, as opposed to the "post and run" mentality a real troll would make if he wanted to stir up trouble, should show you I am not in fact trolling.
Many of you seem absolutely oblivious to your irrational behaviour, and in my opinion you are doing a disservice to the forum by reacting so badly to what you wrongly percieve as an "attack" on a device you like.
I will leave it at that and put it down to experience, but for the record many of you guys really do not carry yourselves well, and if this is how you react to something so small on a forum, then I would worry how you deal with issues in real life.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend people, I shall leave you to your anger, conspiracy theories, and tin foil hats. At least i can read my posts in this thread and know that I didn't stoop down to the level of the comments I recived, or resort to childish insults... and thats worth something in my eyes. What a "community" you have here.Last edited by Richdog-; 02-19-12 at 07:46 AM.

Why don't you go and enjoy your new tablet silently? Samsung Tab is a good product if you need my opinion over Android,s tablet. I bought one for my father.
However, allow me to say that some of us here in CB have became way too defensive over any criticism to PB. Relax, if you think you have a better product, you don't need to become bothered by what others are saying and starting to bash other products. Let's just enjoy our Playbook and waiting for OS 2.0
Geez, I do hope RIM roll it out as soon as possibleChrisy and omniusovermind like this.02-19-12 07:48 AMLike 2 - I'd like to change my earlier suggestion for others to use the report button to request this thread be relocated to the android forum. In light of the flaming and baiting happening, thread deletion might be a better request. Either way, I would recommend you not continuously argue with one another but use your report button instead. I've recently seen decent people receive 3-day bans because they allowed themselves to be baited. Let the moderators handle it.Chrisy and Denise in Los Angeles like this.02-19-12 07:48 AMLike 2
- he lost me when he claimed android was better at running background apps.... no matter what approach you use or angle you are viewing, qnx whips android hands down.
And he is choosing android over anything from rim and is concerned about security???
bbbzzzzzzzzzt!
Fail.02-19-12 07:50 AMLike 5 - I wonder ... will you really leave? It would seem you like to have the last word ... so we shall see. By the way, your posts are no more "level" than many of the replies.Willard814 likes this.02-19-12 07:51 AMLike 1

6.0 Hotdog with chilli? maybe its in 7.0 Hamburger with cheese? is his Galaxy tablet from the future?02-19-12 07:55 AMLike 0 - The OP is clearly a troll, perhaps even a paid shill. Nobody spends this much time meticulously defending their decision to dump a platform unless they have something to gain by doing so. I smell a rat.

- Hey Richdog, I don't want to get into any tablet wars with you, ok, so just wanted to get that out of the way. Now how I use the forum is to help others that have/share a common interest with me, for this case the BB Playbook. So my expectation is is just that. While there are other reasons people use the forum, that's thier personal reasons. If i post it is either to "get" help or "to" help, whether it be getting more info or sharing more info, but thats just me.
What I'm getting at is, while I understand, accept and appreciate your views, feelings and decision........ what was the reason or intention of your post? What did you hope to gain or achieve by posting this? I'm simply trying to understand the nature of your intentions.02-19-12 08:05 AMLike 3
