I'm really glad some of the PS3/360 supporters are backing up the mods here. I know you guys are outnumbered as there are more Wii supporters here but you are still able to see that as long as you are posting in a respectful manner you are given a fair chance to express your views.
The problem here is that that AllAll seems to think that if a non-PS3 supporter is posting their views in a PS3 related thread that its trolling/flamebaiting automatically. I think he doesn't understand that so long as he stays on topic and shows at least a modicum of respect to every member and makes his points about the topic at hand he will be allowed to make his points in any thread as well.
Examples:
The Lair IGN review thread: People were discussing the bad review and joking about the game by posting pics. I personally wouldn't be posting the pics but up to that point every person had been talking about how bad the game was PS3 fans included and nobody seemed to mind except AllAll. Had he just said he didn't appreciate the pictures and addressed the issue directly the outcome would of been much different than what he did do which was attack the mods.
Valve's Gabe Newell comment on the PS3: This is where Killzone3 posted an out of context quote about the PS3 that by itself sounded postive (he also provided a link to the article with the quote but it was linked to page 2 of the interview). Checking back on page 1 of the article you could see quite clearly that Gabe Newell was actually making a negative comment about the PS3. So since the thread was about Gabe Newell's comments on the PS3 the thread quickly turned to addressing the out of context quote and pointing out that it was in fact not what Mr Newell was trying to say. This is where AllAll once again decided to attack the mods.
I probably missed some examples but you get the idea. In both cases it was him taking issue with negative press to a PS3 issue and he is entitled to that opinion and he SHOULD back it up and post. But in neither case did he do that, instead he attacked the mods, attacked the posters with the opposite view, and quite honestly attacked the community as a whole.
I hope he is able to perhaps see where the lines are drawn and who knows maybe he will be able to become a productive member of the community. But right now it seems more and more likely to me that he is simply a troll and attacking the site is his primary objective. I hope I am wrong about that but I highly doubt it.
