I said before its perfectly normal for people to feel strongly about their decisions. Its actually a good sign cause its an expected psychological behaviour.
What isnt fine is the reactions to when someone disagrees. I dont think this is just on the console wars but just about any argument. Posters on this forum seem to get agressive or defensive really fast. This leads to things that perhaps were just heated debates to escalating into flame wars really fast.
I also think that when people here point out that the Sony fans are the problem, they are beeing part of the problem aswell. You are already starting to escalate things by openly coming out to call them out (its also a gross generalisation), but not beeing ready to take the heat that is gonna sparkle.
If you want a peaceful debate, dont antagonise people before you even started talking and dont insult them after you started for having a different opinion.
I also find that these heated debates have been generating something wich i find more dangerous, wich are bating or loaded threads. This leads to things escalating in an ugly way and its not good for anyone or the website.
