I never generalized, don't put words in my mouth, if you read my first post about this issue, I never wrote "MS fans" but just the minority of trolls and astroturfers, accusing of the most hypocritical behaviour just "two or free" of them. I can't deny that I believe some fans unaware of it can fall for astroturfing and become a piloted mob (but even so most of them won't go as far as behaving in any bad way), but I wasn't targetting them, instead I meant to expose these methods also to their benefit. And the hypocrisy bit was specifically about some clever astroturfers shutting up some totally innocent Sony fans that complained about more or less stealthy trolling and telling them with a quite patronizing tone they had not to play the victim (so those astroturfers were the ones actually generalizing there). OTOH I directly addressed only astroturfers and trolls, I never attacked normal MS fans and never told them they must shut up due to trolls' and astroturfers' behaviour they are actually innocent of. Again, don't put words in my mouth. |
Well that explains it then, started off with a misunderstanding. Just dont forget every camp has their own set of douchebags, in this instance it may have been from the MS camp, but there are plenty of instances where people from other camps are stealth trolling etc and get away with it, without comments such as yours. I now expect you to bring up this political example every time someone is stealth trolling, just not to show any bias!
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.
