welcome to the internet, where seriouz bizness is conducted 24/7.
Edit: I do agree with you though, it's the reason why I don't really quote or get into arguements as much as I used to, I realized that arguing with some i haven't met before and wouldn't give a damn about(no offense) over *insert game/console here* does nothing that fuels a never ending flame war.
the reason for joining VGC other than the sales data was the community seem to atleast have a head on their shoulders when it came to debates rather than the usual f*** off/console has no gamez/ ect" comments. though recently is seems even VGC is getting a little tainted if you know what I mean...:(
