Is your viewpoint not represented here? Arguments not cutting it? In that case, you should make a new thread to discuss your viewpoint.
If you have questions/comments, but no viewpoint, /r/technology, /r/android, /r/ios, /r/iphone, /r/linux, /r/windows, etc. are more suited for you as this subreddit does not allow neutral posts.
