I say we cut to the chase. I'll leave my paypal address, and we all should contribute to buy some air-time to show some home made commercials that extol the devices and help companies out. We can also do attack ads just like politicians do every election cycle.

You literally get crazier with every single post, it's hysterical and entertaining. I just sit back and watch the madness unfold.

You seem to take pleasure in starting a thread, then you insult anyone and everyone who doesn't agree with you, and invariably the thread has to be closed because you get too argumentative.
Could this be because you have way too much time on your hands? Over 1100 posts in just over one month. Now that's a lot of posts! And a lot of free time!!
Its great to have "positive" ideas, like taking over marketing for RIM. And you're totally entitled to these ideas.
But please stop being so argumentative and insulting to people who don't agree with you.
Happy posting

I really was going to leave this alone, but the last post quoted was directed to me and merits a response.
I really do NOT enjoy starting threads and ending up insulting anyone. And I apologize if anyone felt insulted that did not deserve it. This thread was started in a very positive fashion with a positive motive. There were constructive posts and healthy disagreements. My responses were polite, respectful and courteous.
Then the sarcasm, nastiness and ridicule comes along beginning with the first post above. I was not the first to be insulting. I hate sarcasm, it is childish, cheap, and easy to do. It is sour, unconstructive and negative. It is easy to join a gang of other haters and pile up on one person, slapping each other on the back for their poison darts. So I am inclined to insult back as I do not take this lying down and those who participate in this are worthy of insult. It is how I was raised and taught by my father, God rest his soul, to fight my own battles and stand up for myself. I was taught to be a leader, not a follower and to pitch in and help when something is wrong not to stand back and complain, to be constructive and not destructive, be part of the solution not part of the problem. I heed his advice to this day, and I do this in his honor and care very little what anyone thinks of it..
Sometimes there can be collateral damage for which I apologize and if you are not quoted above it was not directed at you or PlayBook owners in general, or even other device fans - you are entitled to your preferences as I am entitled to mine, but don't insult me or my preferred device for my preference or enthusiasm. There are other cheap sarcastic personal attacks that apparently had been cleaned up here. I apologize also to the mods, but I do wish they had closed it with the first disrespectful sarcastic comment.
Point is it never starts with me, there is an entourage of haters that follow me wherever I go , no matter how positive and constructive my intents and motives are. I'm more than sick of it , but I do not go down in defeat, as they might wish.
As for my fanaticism, obsessive behavior, whatever you want to call it, all I can say is I love my PlayBook and wish it to succeed, and rather than whine and complain I choose to do what I can to help it along. I'm not really sorry if that annoys some people, I simply don't care. I do NOT as a previous poster suggested "attach my self worth" to the opinion of me in an on line forum, that would be ridiculous. If that is a crime, if I am insane, lock me up. I do not, as some may presume "have too much time on my hands", as I do this while I work to relieve the boredom.
I'm ready for more personal attacks and sarcasm now, bring it on, I have a thick skin, this is just an online forum and nobody is going to make me cry or back down from my passion so may as well just give it up now..you're wasting your time and that of everyone else trying to bring me down.
I'm done posting in this thread, as all it seems to do is invite hatred. My request is that it be closed.
