I've always never understood this mentality of talking about someone indirectly (as in talking around them) instead of directly. It's passive aggressive.
I am not trying to be argumentative in the least. One, I have work shortly so I don't feel like exerting unnecessary energy when i'll soon be dealing with moronic people for barely acceptable pay lmao. I am merely explaining myself and also pointing out a slight hypocrisy.
1. You cant blame me for threads being closed...the threads are not closed because of me. If not solely....It does take at least 2 people to tango(or in this case debate). What I've noticed is that people on WC do not being called out and challenged.
HTC related threads.....Even when HTC is proven to be wrong, somehow pointing out that poor track record is an issue. I can point this out in several threads that have been closed. It's never my Intent to get threads. I admin my own forum and I don't close threads as I am not looking to stifle argument. I prefer to let individuals hash it out themselves unless some serious insults have been thrown around that cause me to intervene.
2. This space is designed for people to talk about things other than WP? Okay I get your point there...except wait, that means we can talk about things that are not related to WP. Which means I should have the right to express my dislike about a product and/or OS. After all isn't that what a good portion of WC does with Windows 10 mobile? Or is only fair when people express dislike for Windows 10 mobile send that is the current trend?
3. Furthermore, I was confused as to why there was such a heavy android talk on a Windows talk(Same as I would be if this was an anime forum and it was constantly talking about College Basketball). I never said that people couldn't nor shouldn't be allowed. I merely asked why and I left it at that.
I also was curious if the user was a Windows Phone user or not....as I was just curious their experience with Windows Phone.
I simply asked because I truly wonder are Imore and Androidcentral quite as heavy on the discussions of competing OS on their forum the way WC is....
4. If you are getting upset because someone is speaking negatively about your OS choice and hardware choice, I implore you to reevaluate and refocus. It's not that serious. It's a phone and OS and we're discussing this on a forum.
5. As far as a group? I don't post here regularly in this thread, generally because most of the conversation revolves around Android or I just don't care.
But I see the same few people posting and it does come off as cliqueish. I do have to point, outside of the select few that have an issue with me, I don't have issues with majority of people. I've been here nearly 4 years. Some have an issue with my blunt and in your face personality (True for many people in my real life) and then others applaud me for it and I am also one of the few people who wish for WC to be more of a community instead of this Warzone and cliqueish thing it has become. I personally do not care if I am disliked or liked but let's not make it out to be as if I am a problem for the community.
5. I am a dual user...so how come I can't give my opinions because I am not agreeing with you that Android is god's gift to man? Forgive me for not praising my google overlords.
6. You do realize your comments, especially about my age and implying my intelligence level(as you've alluded in other posts) and your superiority you try to instill based on your career, age, place in life, etc etc could technically be considered offensive and insulting. I could hit the report button and I can bring it to the attention to the staff.
However, it's a forum on the internet and I don't put much stock into people who do not know me as they have no real relevance in and on my life.
This comes off as hypocritical because you are accusing me of this or that and yet you are taking a far more aggressive approach and insulting and downright derogatory approach.
But hey if you guys want to chase away users of the forum who have been here for years for not conforming to your ideology and opinions that is fine. I cant stop that.
But I say, "Let's chill out, breathe and relax a bit." Life is far too short to get annoyed because some 'young kid' as you say bluntly states his opinion that you seem to disagree with.
Let's discuss tech if we must.
And hey I said I may be trying lagdroid
That's a discussion in and of itself.
(I am leaning Nexus 5X and Alcatel Idol 3).
