I can understand this and sometimes one can have alas! the same feelings, but Moderators should be "moderate", politeness and patience are mandatory or better to do something else Moderation doesn't mean authoritism, but make the forum readable for users, animate discussions,help and make respect some basic rules needed for a correct forum management.

proyectomapear.com.ar won't discuss anything about SP on Android because of many factors.

1) they make maps, Garmin compatible and they have been trying to get Garmin attention for a long time, but Garmin instead of helping was always developing new firmwares for GPSes that prevented Mapear and others to work correctly on their software. They may have fixed them already but from time to time that issue shows again (call it a regressive bug).

Not quite true. First of all Mapear use cGPSMapper which is not officially supported by Garmin, so they are not going to get any attention from them.
Garmin is free to develop new firmwares to their products and, of course, they don't care if custom maps as Mapear would fit in.

I can assure you that they are very authoritarian people.
I've seen many posts where people just give legal information and get shut down because they believe it has something to do with illegal stuff, and the most important, very often the moderators make mistakes about a subject and never (I repeat: NEVER) give an apologize.
If that is not authoritarianism, then I don't now the meaning of it.
