| starcraft said: CGI is what could be described as an ardent fan, or a mature fanboy. He makes large attempts to control any anti-Microsoft tendencies in his opinions, and too tone down pro-Sony thoughts into the realm of actual possibility. I actually find this to be refreshing and genuine, so he shouldn't take this as an insult at all. That said, the occasional moments when he oversteps the bounds of those self-imposed structures are largely inconsequential as an ordinary poster. But as a mod, such moments could be quite destructive. So while I hope CGI will continue to be the entertaining and constructive poster he has become, no, he should not be a mod. |
But I think it's perfectly human to be biased, by nature we're inclined to bias. That's why we utilize Simple Random Samples and use Double Blind Tests, because we're afraid that we can still sub consciously act on our bias.
That is why the human mind, and rationality is brilliant. We can control our impulses to some extent, and the ones who can control them better are better suited, IMHO to lead. The founding fathers were afraid of direct democracy, because they thought that their fellow colonists were too impuslive, acting on emotion, and can easily be causing some revolution for every little thing.
CGI is favored toward the PS3, just as I'm sure you favor the 360, I favor the PS3, just like everyone prefers one console over another, even if they don't admit it. We need people who can look beyond their impuslive and instinctive biases, that everyone has, think calmly, and act rationally. That's what a mod is. They don't ban based on their preferences and bias, but on objective rules (don't do heavy cursing, no obvious trolling, etc). There shouldn't be a mentality of balancing mods with biased members of each console. That's absolutely backwards and will only cause mods banning and perhaps unbanning members for irrational reasons.
We need someone like CGI, someone with his calmness and control.
