They were talking about replacing a 500 series laptop's LC040 with a full 040 and I got excited and started doing some research and stuff, and I wen't over to Motorolla's site and stuff... I was in way over my head yes, but the response they gave me was not nice.

foetoid, you're in way over your head here, so shut up

Trash came over and saved me from myself thankfully....

De nada, comrade. Sometimes I wish somebody would save me from myself when I'm in way over my head.

Don't paint everybody on fritter with the same brush, the member who posted that response tends to be that way sometimes from what I can tell, but that was strong even for him and very much out of line, I liked the way you put him in his place with your response.

I'm sorry I didn't email you about that line in your recent post, that offer should have been made in a private email. They are a little draconian on piracy issues over there, but the MLA is WAY too cool when it comes to intellectual property B.S., we should be a little more discrete over here too, IMHO.

The fritter is wary of the legal reprocussions, they are more mainstream, and I think they fear they might be sued/shut down

That'd be inappropriate, IMHO. Things like that are best judged for oneself. Gossip and forumbashing are not the MLA style and as a mod, I wouldn't want to see it get started.

Applefritter is *not* a news site and I doubt they would expect press passes. Even then there is nothing to stop them from getting regular passes. I can see why this would be a problem for macworld and such and spymac and appleinsider are the places for armchair management. I really don't see why it's there, and it's not even a post from T O.

Anyway it doesn't really affect my posting but.... just felt like having a rant of my own I guess!

p.s. Quadrajets is that your eBay user name? if so I think I bourht some TV tuners off you a year or ago.

Anyhue, that wasn't my point!
My point is, this gives them a bigger oppertunity for people to just join and not really mean anything. The bigger and easier to get to (in terms of publicity), the more trolls you are going to get. Just look at MAF, you can't make a post wihtout one responding. Meanwhile here at the MLAF, you have to "want" to be here and that weeds out 99.9% of the trolls (have we had an incident yet?) and leads to a very fun and enjoyable environment.

Thats my small amount of money.

To hit one other point made in this thread. On the idea that we're more relaxed in our rules than AF. I'm not really sure that's it exactly. In both forums, we have simular views about acceptable content. We just try to more tactful and respectful over here. It certainly could have been handled better, without causing further problems or resentment.

Well, that's my two-cents worth on it.

"One slip and down the hole we fall"

About the no rumormongering policy statement over there, that's my fault. I posted a thread about the new towers with image links displaying the piccies on the french site in the forums over there, just like I did here.

IIRC, I put a disclaimer in it that said to kill the thread if it was inappropriate because it was unclear what their policy was at the time and there had been the blowup about rumormongering/press passes flap the week previously. It was an exciting Sunday afternoon in Mac land!

The same photos were on Ars and SpyMac(?) both of which were contacted by Apple's Schyster in Chief with the same old song and dance about infringement which, IMHO, is TOTAL B.S.

Whatever, none of the sites that were contacted with those phony emailed "cease and decist" tuschie tissues were actually "news" sites, they were sites like the MLAF or AF for the most part (SpyMac is in a class by itself . . . thankfully! ).

I still think we should be a little more discrete around here, I've given up on suggesting that we actually be more careful. :rolleyes:
