I can't help but feel that this thread has become less about phones and more "my god is better than your god" and millennia of fighting has taught us, that's never going to end well, or indeed end.

Seriously to call someone a "cock" because they like a different phone to you? How is that even sane?

Please read my post beore commenting, I told him to stop acting a cock because it was he that was slating people because of the phone they have. I have no problems with what phone people use. I have a problem with people thinking that can be offensive to others just because they dislike iPhones. Or generally offensive in any respect. Especially a person with authority,

but if you weren't so adamantly arrogant so as to believe that an iPhone is the best thing in the world then you wouldn't get so wound up about this stuff! (n) its his right to act like a cock if he so desires its also his right to express an opinion that differs from your own, do you go around calling everyone a cock who doesn't think the same as you? perhaps you should form a group of those who share your beliefs and wage a 100 year war against those who don't share your beliefs?

get things in perspective its a phone, its a thing you talk on or text on or tweet or facebook or what ever the hell you do (i don't care) they all do the same things this isn't just aimed at you matthew when there are police being gunned down just for doing their job you have to consider that maybe there are more important things in this world that the company which made your phone...... in a factory in china

there is so much more wrong in society yet people are bickering about a bloody gadget! :mad: get real

I'm not bickering about the bloody phone, I don't believe the iPhone is the best or that anybody shouldn't be happy with what they have whether it be an old Nokia 3310 or the latest android device. My problem is the insults thrown by users of this forum especially those in moderation positions labelling and insulting people that own iPhones as if they have anything above them, my opinions or even the opinions from said moderator have no effect on my life, it's the insults that do. Am I making myself clearer, I understand the world has many opinions, and I'm not trying to change it, if he just said he dislikes iPhones for such and such a reason it would of been fine, that's his right (as you said). But to insult others over there thoughts then when it becomes a problem.

I believe it was you who started the insults. My opinion of what I thought about Apple and their products was too much for you to bear. You the felt then need to stoop to personal insults.

errrm.... i have taken a look back and read what kicked off your response culminating in you calling a moderator a cock and all he said was that he 'dislikes iPhones for such and such a reason' as you stated above.

thats his opinion, i prefer my iPhone i don't necessarily agree with his opinion but at the same time i don't feel the need to strap a back back on full of C4 and blow his people sky high nor do i feel the need to call him a cock, its just not what civilized people do, you can debate someone's reasons thats fair enough but in this case it was very much yourself who started throwing round the insults and all over someone's opinion of a Phone.

you don't get to punch a police officer and then complain police brutality when they put you on the floor, you don't insult the moderators and cry intimidation when they call you on it.

put your worthless gadgets down go out side and experience the world through something other than a 3 inch LCD screen, it might help you mature a bit. :rolleyes:

After reading this post I have gone back to read through the whole thread to see when it got nasty. Looks like it happend in post 73..

Someone went on a rant because they still don't have widgets and started calling people cocks. (n)

Can't blame them. It would suck to not have widgets. :(

I suppose if you have never had them, you don't miss them.
The caveman never had the internal combustion engine and didn't miss it either.

I was that caveman until Feb this year - I had a Satio running on Symbian S60 :bang:

A few at work had iPhones and others had HTC desires. Once I had seen the functionality of both, I knew I would be getting an Android. Eventually got to the end of my Satio's contract and got the Galaxy S2. Looked at the Lumia phones but decided after my Nokia-in-every-way-but-name Satio I didn't want to go that way again. Perhaps more fool me since the Lumia range are excellent phones, but they were just too new to the market.

As for your cavemen... If Ugg had a stick, and Chuck Rock had an engine... I imagine Ugg would be a bit miffed.

I like the iPhone, it's nice, simple and does exactly what I want/need it to do. :)
