| theprof00 said: r505 yes, you've been very gracious and understanding in hearing our opinions, but you have to realize that the "flaming" is what the thread warrants. Trolling, is posting material that gets people upset, for the point of receiving responses. The word comes from 'trolling the waters', as in fishing. You put some 'flamebait' on the hook, and wait for a response. Even if your point was just to ask about people's experiences with Sony, it was poorly worded for that motive, as it came off more as a sales pitch with evidence coming in the form of unproven examples and heresay. But I welcome you to vgc, you seem to be more level-headed and experienced than I was when I first started. |
Yeah it probably was poorly worded -.- especially since it's not like I trust any of the companies that much, nor do I intend to discredit Sony.
Though I disagree on one thing, I don't think any thread beyond 'X brand/company sucks!' warrants flaming. It's just offensive, and rude, and while I know people like their little cushion of anonymity, that still doesn't justify the way some people act. There have been plenty of people in this thread that have nicely and logically countered just about every part of my main post. I don't think courtesy is too much of a thing to ask in a forum.
