Is it so hard to have a game discussion where people understand each other?

Man, it's the internet.  The VGChartz community is much better than most but still, when I enter a debate and the reply isn't "You're gay", I'm impressed.  Some people are going to see things differerntly no matter how well thought out, respectful, and flawless your argument is.

Very true, very true indeed, though we all have our frustrated days too, I've seen you threaten to leave many times haha, this is just my frustrations, except instead of wanting to leave I simply try to reason with everyone in hopes they listen.

Normally I'm right with you but I've been called a fanboy of all three companies, and I'm in no one's corner (or everyone's corner depending on perspective).  But even in person I have these sorts of debates, while on the other hand I am a Christian and get along so well with athiests and agnostics, and not once have I ever been in a heated debate about beliefs.

Yet I can't discuss how the 360 isn't God's gift to gaming to my military friends who think I'm a PS/Wii fanboy, on the other I have the friends that grew up with PS1 and PS2, and of course they're praising the amazingness of the PS3 even if they don't own one, yet I get called a Nintendo fanboy despite owning a PS3 lol and then I play games with my friends that own Wii's often like me they own an HD console too, we get along fine, and we usually talk about how absurd everyone else acts over gaming lol... I'm still trying to find a Wii fanboy in real life that will call me a Sony fanboy when I talk crap about Nintendo's bad policies on some things lol

HEEEEEEY!  I only left once!!
