My view is if you just want to simply enjoy your console of choice don't go on game forums, they are less about games than they are about an all out war between people trying to force/influence their views on others
If some one was a true "hardcore" gamer they would embrace ALL aspects of gaming, and try everything out there is, and encourage others to do the same, but the reality is people that call themselves "hardcore" are rarely like this.
You can't change people, in every group you find the good and the bad
Game forums aren't the place to go to relax and simply enjoy yourself, others don't let you
Do your own thing and avoid gaming politics (aka gaming forums) for awhile, you may find your sanity returns
PS: VGChartz forums are one of the best, there are hell of a lot worse than this one
