Yes I am up to mischief, and I mean to lay out some nasty mental scars on fellow posters. For my part I think its time that some posters on these forums need a verbal tongue lashing, and need to be flogged publicly. Everyone has a right to be an asshole from time to time, but a number of you have decided to be full time assholes. Playing the pity card, or the victim card no less. Bitching, moaning, derailing, griping, propagandizing, self celebrating, attention whores. Who love to dish it out when you can, but play at being morally outraged when your bravado flies back into your face. What did you expect for dancing out into the lime light.

I am utterly disgusted by the unmitigated childishness, and trolling behavior I am seeing in a great many threads. I am sick of those posters who want the moderators to censor the discussion. Basically trying to manipulate the discussion to their benefit. The moderators aren't your bitches, and that is not their job. They are here to keep the discussion civil. Not to shut down discussion, because it frustrates you. There are nine forums for you to choose from, and that means over two hundred threads for you to participate in on the front pages alone. You do not have to participate in anything you do not want to participate in. The problem is yours and your idiotic fixations. The childishness needs to stop its time for you to stop trying to hide under skirts.

Which brings me to this attention whoring bullshit. You bitch about the thread, but your there front and center to derail the thread. Bump the thread for hours on end, and make the thread about you and the original poster. Hell why actually make a real counter argument when you can just attack the original poster sideways. Like the yellow coward that you are deep down where you think nobody can see. Well your not that clever. Everyone knows your a dirty little scum sucker. We just know we cannot call you that to your face. Trying to make us attack you with oblique references so we can skirt the rules, and not get banned for it. The moderators need to start banning you for your your topic derailing, and blatant trolling. There is a difference between being contentious or provative, and just being an annoyance that contributes nothing. Your just a hemorrhoid on the asshole of this community.

Which then brings me to this playing the victim card. This is life not a boxing arena there are no sitdowns between rounds. Neither are other posters required to hold their punches, because they are bad for your side of things. There is no flipping mercy rule. When shit is bad they have a right to point out shit is bad. All that it needs be is relevant to the topic at hand. Oh and here is some news for you they have a right to dislike a company, and be gasp mean spirited. Yeah they have a right to have their own perspective. Your console of choice isn't a endangered species, and has no right whatsoever to continued existence. That is the way of the jungle. The do not even have to hold back to appear impartial. That is not their job. Also it isn't your job to defend a hardware manufacturer. If you choose to do so fine, but your the one who wants to take the risks by placing your pride on the line.

I think it is time that those I am addressing this to need to grow the fuck up, and grow a pair be it between your legs or on your chest. You had your time to vent, and you have stretched it out for all it was worth. Now your just trolls looking to tear this community apart. Your just setting out to torment other users now, and you are not participating in the discussion. You have decided that its better to drag this community down with you. I have read the catch phrase statements all I can stand to , and there is no reason for you to be posting them in every single thread, or attacking the original poster, because they have a stance that is unpopular with you. We have a right to have a civil discussion without you spreading your filth.

I would recommend that others take a stance against this bullshit. We do not need to censor ourselves, or put up with it out of some sense of fair play. The play clock has long since expired. They either need to straighten up and fly right or we need to start reporting them for the antics. I know moderators are giving them leeway, but if we start to say as a group this is the last thread your going to derail. Then well at least the bannings will bring the conversation up to higher standards once more. I have the feeling they are not going to stop until they degrade themselves to the level of former posters like Hus, and it will not end until everyone is laying down profanities at one another. That does not have to happen.

No I am not attacking Sony supporters. The majority of which are well behaved, and have decided to either not discuss a subject or do so in a civil manner. I am talking about those posters, and they know who they are who have decided that they are going to be assholes, because they do not like how shit turned out. No it is not the fault that someone posted something controversial, or is continuing to discuss a sore subject for them. They had their chance to say their peice. They had a chance to bring something new to the table. They had a chance to use any number of tools on this site to make arguments. They chose to take the low road of trolling. I really could give less then a damn if you have been on these forums for years if you have come this far, and have decided your just going to troll. Then you need a good banning to straighten you out, or you need to go somewhere else. It is beyond time to let go.

There is so much else to discuss anyway. You have no reason to fixate on this one issue. Especially if all your going to do is troll. This discussion is not going to go away, because you do not like it. This is relevant discussion, and yes sales figures, and finances are what decides things such as console wars, software support, and gaming experience. There are serious posters here who wish to flex their analytical muscle, and want to really sort this shit out. That is a large part what these forums are supposed to be about. There are hundreds of forums out there that welcome idiot trolling.

You seem angry. Good to let it out I suppose.

right on.

"Everyone knows your a dirty little scum sucker."<<ROFL!

I'm sorry. I'm tired of being a scum sucker.

I am not upset, but I am concerned and disappointed. This is the kind of idiocy that drives down the quality of these forums, and makes it harder for posters to have a good discussion. To which I ask why are they still here if for no other reason then to ruin it for everyone else, because they have a failed agenda. Life is not fair sometimes you get the bull, and sometimes the bull gets you.

You have to know when to fold them, and walk away. The fact that your only defense is to troll, and irritate other posters. Well that is not a defense its just being an asshole, because you cannot deal with your tender pride. Thus the title paper thin skin. They need to toughen up, and having no defense left is no excuse to debase yourself or other members of this community. You want to believe that in three or four months things might change that is cool. Go do something else for those three or four months instead of being a nuisance.

There are better things to spend your time on then trolling on a forum. Go play a game, or discuss game sales, or perhaps discuss specific games. Buy an old game and review it. Be a positive contributor to this community rather then a troll. Somebody had to say this it might as well be me. Before the shit goes down the dark path. Which honestly will probably happen, but on the bright side I might save a couple posters from the path. Perhaps they will read this, and see themselves in it, and say I should take this advice.

A few of the posters I am referring to used to be productive good posters, and they have just lost their way. They could be good posters again, but if they keep going as they are the conclusion is inevitable. The bile builds they alienate most of the community get banned, return under an alt, get banned again, and in the end they become a true pariah that everyone laughs at. To them I say why go through this you have no reason to do so.

awesome post dodece, i was thinking the same thing after reading the epic thread started by gebx.

this is a sales site, for those interested in analyzing market trends and making predictions in the industry based on information/news made available to us. just because news does not not fit your idea of optimism doesnt make it any less relevant. if you dont have anything to contribute to the discussion of an article or subject, dont run in crying about it, im sure there are hundreds of forums or threads where everyone is patting each other on the back and singing kumbaya.

And then I scrolled... Haha very long, read all of it though. Good points.

Dodece I think some of the grievences expressed by these people are justified. It does seem like people are pursuing an agenda behind the logic they use. The best and fairest way to debate a topic is to see both sides of it. Come over to the other side, think of reasons and maybe even create a topic as to why you think Sony could get out of the situation they are in, or why the issues with SCE may be over-blown.

fyi when people make posts like this it sometimes encourages fanboys to troll...

i want names, i want them now. How dare they act like this? Don't they know the internet is serious business?
