Infighting on MR iPhone sub-forum

[Holty123]

I've been a longtime lurker and a fairly recent member, i've enjoyed all the rumors and discussions, checking the site and forum several times per day. I loved the run up to the iPad, and got addicted to the UK iPhone 4 thread.
Recently though i've started to dislike the forum, more and more trolls coming in, arguments over the signal issue (yes i have an iP4 and yes i do have the signal issue, but am happy enough holding it in my right hand until there is a fix/recall), everyone biting back at each other, the sense of community is not there anymore.

I'm an apple fanboy, i admit that but i do recognise there is a problem with the iP4, not enough for me to return it but for some it may seem necessary.

I'm not out to attack or offend and i do realise everyone is entitled to their own opinion i just think we could be a little friendlier to each other, we all like apple - this is an apple rumor site afterall! - so why not try to get along better.

I know this post will get slammed by certain people and probably most won't give a damn, so i'll duck and cover and wait for the onslaught!

Just one final tip if a forum user replies to your post and you feel like arguing back with them, before you do click on their user name and read past posts by them, you can see that most of the time they love getting into an argument instead of helping or ignoring you, also if you spend a lot of time in here you get to know the user names that do.

i love the bickering...

listen we are here to talk about stuff (apple) and it be pritty crap if we were all singing the same song..

sure some people are just being narky for ***** and giggles but thats cool we are all allowed to be what we like as long as we dont break the rules..

as for the iphone 4 i can get the signal loss and i dont think its shorting (bridging) that is the antenna issue as i have to hold my iphone tight (cover allot of the bottom) for it to happen and not if i just hold it over all 3 metal sections in the one hand with just my finget tips or a normal grip (for me)). and it happens what ever the signal strength..

flame or concur its cool either way
