What the hell? How was Bamboleo's post trolling? All he did was say that Molyneux is a "hype machine," or that he hypes things a lot. He didn't say anything negative about anything or anybody, except Molyneux (who people regularly make fun of anyways).

Jesus jebebus.


It could be that people are getting tired of the constant trolling against the Xbox 360 and its games (particularly anything Halo, Lionhead, or Microsoft in general) which judging by your post you may feel is acceptable.  I mean where's the f'n Molyneux quote in the original post?  Yet you feel there's nothing wrong with bashing Molyneux in this thread.  If you really want to stay above the trolling and put fanboys in their place maybe you should check to make sure you really are platform agnostic.

First off, it's highly ironic for you of all people to criticize others for trolling. How many bans has it been for you, Legend? Didn't you say that you hated the site and would never come back? I guess you just can't resist the urge to come back and put other consoles down some more. What a treat.

I don't find trolling acceptable at all. However, I don't find Bamboleo's post to be trolling at all either. Maybe it's just my point of view, but people make fun of PR heads all the time, and get away with far worse trolling than that. It just seems like everyone is in defense mode. I thought it was commonly accepted that Molyneux overhypes his projects. Sure, you could question his involvement here, but him being a hype machine is no secret. And seriously, he got a longer ban for that then someone else did for calling him a tool? Sure, it was uncalled for of him to trash Molyneux, but it's hardly a big deal.

In fact, I've actually made suggestions towards how to stop trolling (such as people being banned from specific forums instead of being banned from the site), and worked years as a moderator. What have you done to combat trolling? You've just trolled back. How fantastic. And then you tell me whether to check if I'm "platform agnostic?" That's some pretentious crap. And that's coming from you, of all people. Wow. Again, just wow. I mean, you could say I'm not entirely unbiased (since the 360 gets the most playtime from me), but I do love and own all the consoles and I certainly don't feel the need to troll them, unlike you.

Edit: Okay, maybe that was a bit harsh, but you shouldn't have gotten so aggressive so quickly (especially when I'm in a jokingly aggressive mood myself).
