Banned... No good deed goes unpunished

I'm part of the group of people being banned there. Even if I admit I may have crossed the line with the people in the Foundation it always was as a defense against a treatment I didn't deserve at all.

I stated a problem I had with element14 in my country in a complete absence of information from them. I still had problems to understand what happened and why where some element14 customers asked to pay 3 months before real delivery. I spoke with lots of people in the company and nobody knew/care. So I address it in the RaspberryPi forums (where else should I have asked for help) to realize that the people behind the Foundation where more concerned about bussinnes partners than users (not customers as they treat people when they want to "take control".

The lack of maners of Liz Upton, Eben Upton, Abishur and JamesH lead me to think they may have a strange conception on how to help people. The only good thing they have made banning me it's making me interested enough to learn and make a better device / more open to learn.

Cobblers mate. IIRC you were really rude (yeh, I've been around a while!). You need to learn to accept when you been bad, and take the consequences. Seem odd to me there are about 10 people on here complaining about the moderators over there, and yet they have 35 thousand apparently happy customers. And the 10 complainers here were all banned for something or other. SImple statisitcs should give readers the idea of what's going on. WHich reminds me, I was gonig to email them to ask how many people have been banned from the site, just to get some idea of the percentages. Reckon that would be a fun number.

A simple way to get banned there is "concern trolling"

If you are concerned about something not working on the Pi, and if you believe it's a feature that should basically work (like usb host ports), than you will be banned as you are bad for sales.

If the foundation will be equal honest about the number of complaining customers as they are about the rest of their stuff, the numbers you will get will be as reliable as the number of votes for the president of a dictatorial banana republic.

It's not important as the boards purpose is focussed at a low cost educational tool, and learning how to troubleshoot electronics is educational 2. As most electronics are "throw away" nowadays, troubleshooting is also a dying art like programming.
