There are some great people who have switched platforms, you clearly see shifts in their postings, and the people they click "like to" people who are not trolls them selves "boost" trolls by liking/thanking their posts.
If you own a BlackBerry and want to learn about all it can do, you should be here, if you had a BlackBerry and Miss what it could do, you should be here, if you WANT a BlackBerry and are trying to keep up with their development you should be here.
But if you signed up on this forum, and 50%+ of your posts are bashing RIM/BlackBerrys/BlackBerry users, I'm sorry to say, you should leave, stop posting, all you are doing is making it a hostile place to be a BlackBerry fan, and a BlackBerry user. You detract from the new users looking for help as clicking on the "new posts" link which used to make it easy to help people now just links to the top threads full of blatant hate.
You have posters who say "I'm not a troll, I'm just stating facts". Well what you are doing is prodding those who are overly fanboish to respond with counter points which may also be factual, or they find holes in your "facts" and suddenly the thread explodes. If your mission is to share negative facts with the BlackBerry loving population, and you look for ways to respond with a short snarky comment when ever something positive comes out, you are a troll,
There are some posters who look for every opportunity to promote Apple, and All things Apple, how great everything Apple is, and will be sure to let you know that they feel life can only be worth while if you use Apple products, some are intelligent, though refusing to accept people could like using non Apple products, some just bring up weak points of RIM/Windows as their arguments on why the world of iPhone/Mac is the only path to happiness.
This forum is filled with people who want to be antagonistic, I'm far from an everything is fine guy, fighting with over zealot BlackBerry people as I do with fans of the other platforms. But I don't enjoy coming to the forum to users who though they claim they want a BlackBerry, or that used to use a BlackBerry so they deserve to be here, who's only purpose is to tell people who own BlackBerrys they are stupid for not changing platforms, and that the Only thing BlackBerry has is a Keyboard and BBM.
