Why is it that when ever anyone on this site provides a rational argument with facts and well thought out arguments to defend a point it either is totally ignored or some trivial mistake or gap is attacked while all the valid logic and information is ignored?

This behavior appears to cross the console lines, so I am not picking on one fan base here.

So any theories from the rational people out there or any explanation from the offenders? Are people just poor at debate? Are the rational arguments to complex for you? Are you just immature and can't handle objective rational discourse?

From what I have seen my vote is the all of the above for most.

For a great current example of what I am talking about look here.

Passion, emotion. A enthuiast often is a passionate person who likes the values they care about. Often the enthuiast however cares more about HIS/HER OWN value. This at this point then becomes a state where logic is devoid and only passion remains. I would say that a majority of internet enthuiasts are passionate past the point of rationality.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
