Every damn time someone posts an article about a 360 exclusive game, a good 75-80% of comments are talking about how 360 Game X doesn't possibly compare to PS3 Game Y.

It's depressing - I don't click on 360-game comment threads and think "I wonder what 360 fans think of this game?" anymore.

I now click and think "I wonder how PS3 fanboys are going to insult this game?"

Because apparently there's about 5 or 6 actual 360 owners left on this site, and the rest of the people are all PS3 owners just waiting around to take a dump on any 360 news that comes along.

Case in point:

Personally I pretty much stopped posting about the 360. I think the console itself is crap. The games are actually good but it works both ways. Posts can go off topic. How do you regulate freedom of speech?

Oh, I'm not really asking to regulate it. I just fund it frustrating and needed to vent.

It's hard to have a community-run site when it's clear that a good 80-90% of that community is bias towards a single console, and at least 50% of those people are HEAVILY biased towards that console and gang up on anyone or anything that doesn't support that bias.

See: Comments reported by PS3 fans as "spam" and deleted, just because PS3 fans don't like them.

Most forums are like this. You get supporters of one particular console, gamers that own all 3 that tend to think they are better, idiot cyber bullies (just replied to one last night),, people that stealth troll. I kind of just did that myself but I'd like to give you good advice, just reply and ignore the "fanboyism". Other 360 owners will respond to you.

You get all kinds on forums. IMHO just post about whatever the 360 thread is about and other 360 owners will respond. Don't let it get to you.

As I've said before. If you visit a multi-platform site, what do you expect?

Decency, maturity, respect for others and open minded and respectful, intelligent conversation while allowing me the ability to randomly post hentai.
