are you being sarcastic, ? try to make a thread on nintendo channel and say something like wii fanboys are ignorant fanboys.

that will get you banned in seconds.

and it's just what this guys did just to a less known poster.

it's an insult, and it should set anyone angry in a second.

I'm sorry, but you're under a misconception.

If I said that "All 360 fans are ignorant" then yes, I would deserve to be banned, because I'm generalizing an entire group with a phrase that could be taken as derogatory, and couldn't possibly be true..

If I said that you were ignorant of commonly accepted descriptive terms allowed by mods on the VGChartz forums, I would be stating a fact. You didn't know that the word "ignorant" is perfectly acceptable as long as it isn't delivered with the intent to humiliate or cause malice.

You see, it's often perfectly clear and factual when someone doesn't know what they're talking about. Just because you see it as a derogatory term, or because in some instances, certain people view it that way, it doesn't change its textbook definition, and the way Soriku used it, imo, is perfectly acceptable, and YOU should stop trying to get people banned because you don't agree with them.

which is what exactly what soriku did.

he called him ignorant, the guy got pissed off called him asshole (wrong),

soriku reported him and the guy got banned.

which IMO not right.

ignorant can be used as lack of knowledge in a certain area, but that's not the guy took it.

but rather as similar to someone that it's stupid.
