i am back!!!! (now that hus is gone. ) but kwaad ain't that bad. sometimes all of a sudden he just acts sarcastic and make stupid arguments. otherwise, his other arguments are of value for discussion. i enjoy making discussion and conversation with him at times.

I hope that when kwaad returns, he starts make posts that are not flaming. Just as some people said in this thread, kwaad has pretty good arguments, but when you counter them, he starts flaming and ignoring most of the counter arguments. I think his How Nintendo -thread was one of the best examples that how he flames in the forum. He earned his ban, but i hope he doesn't earn himself a permanent ban in the future.

i think the blame isn't entirely on kwaad, he does take a fair bit of abuse. i don't know what caused the ban this time (not gonna bother digging through the threads), but in the past a lot of times people misunderstand his sense of humor and start bashing him for being kwaad... and when kwaad fights back, the trouble starts. the last time he got banned i agree it didn't look all that bad.

kwaad needs to tone it down a little but it'll be a great loss to vgcharts if kwaad gets banned forever.

I'll still contribute to the Sony side of things. Bring on the mob.

I think some of the Sony fanboys give all the Sony fanboys a really bad reputation. I don't know why, but for whatever reason the bad Sony fanboys seem to be extremely rude. 360 fanboys tend to be low key. Nintendo fanboys can be annoying but not verbally abusive. Maybe because the Sony crowd tends to be teen males? That would be my only explanation.

I don't want Kwaad banned for good, but as long as ioi explains to him why he was banned legitimately and that he needs to behave when he comes back that is good, he is a valuable member of this site I believe, but the ban at the moment is legitimate and should stay.

rofl

seriously though,kwaad didnt seem to be as bad as hus.

 Besides not bringing anything  to the table, other than trying to rub ppl the wrong way, Hus was the most flamboyant troll around. he had absolutely no self awareness of what he was doing. and might i add an intellect of a 4 year old.

I agree with weezy. Kwaad is better than Hus. I miss Kwaad. Sometimes we need someone to argue to make this forum more interesting. It's weird not to see the green elf put comment on each topic.

I found him amusing and intresting somewhat. Perhaps he didnt go about things properly, but he sparked discussion of the more finer points of each system. I just glaze over the short pure troll comments he does for his multiple paragraph one's. Basically his thinking side vs emotional side. I think he is basically trying to debate people into his point of view, and just gets frustrated in the attempt alot.

definately weird not having him comment on everything too.  I mean with that many posts, some are bound to be trollish, during emotional times. 

Its not so much that anyone disliked Kwaad, as it was he caused enough issues to have him go away for awhile. When he posts 50 times in one flame-war thread defending the PS3 against any oncomers, it becomes an issue. If he's posting once or twice in a thread, it's fine. The issue is he had decent sales info in the sales sections about data, but very poor choices when it came to game issues (far too pro-PS3 there). Hopefully the week ban will make him realize that he loves this forum, and needs to straighten up a little bit more. I am rather pro-360, but as far as I know, I've never really got anywhere close to becoming an issue with anyone. Why? I never really resort to flaming, name calling, and just crazy posts with no substantiated ideas. Kwaad has a mixed bag. He can certainly be the best contributor here if he learns to purge the rest of the washimul-isims from his system.
