We here on WPC are, by rights of accepting the terms of use, all adults. We are all also, I assume, intelligent adults. Finally we are all intelligent adults who follow - and may have vested interests in - mobile technology.
Should we not be capable of recognizing when one platform excels in some area over our chosen "pet" platform? Should we not be capable of allowing others their own opinions when it comes to one platform excelling over another? One would think that as intelligent adults interested in mobile technology, we should be able to do just that. But so often around here dissenting opinions are met with cries of "******", "iSheep", "fandroid", and the like.
Personally, I think that falling back on those terms indicates a lack of intelligence and thought. Rather than consider what is being said, you're taking it as an offense against your "pet" platform and you're insulting the speaker by not allowing them their own opinions. Personally, I think that anyone who goes out of their way to not only setup an account on WPC, but to actually engage in the community, should be above that sort of base commentary.
Therefore, I am calling for an end to the terms "******", "iSheep", "fandroid", and all the rest here on WPC. I think that we should rise above the dross which brings down other forums of WPC's ilk, and start setting a better example for all of WPC's sister sites to follow.
