A lot of people should stop throwing around the words fanboy and troll.

"Certainly Did. Riot, from my observations, I don't think a fan of one system is being any less sensitive than another. There are definitely individual gamers of all console preferences that need to calm themselves down."

I disagree. I believe the Nintendo fans are easily the most sensitive. For example, every time some CEO or whatever says something negative about the Wii, Nintendo fans feel the need to start a topic on how the guy is an idiot or whatever... All you have to do is call the Wii casual, which isn't even an insult, and Nintendo fans go nuts.

I agree with Riot. The non-Wii people have to tread more carefully in this forum than other people because of the balance around here. Is it really that hard for you guys to admit that this website is Nintendo biased? It is if you haven't noticed. Once again it is getting better, but it is.

I will agree that there are more Wii fans than PS3 fans or 360 fans on this site; and that therefore an anti-Wii comment will tend to get more people crying foul than an anti-PS3 comment and anti-360 comment.

But what Riot is saying is that the individual Wii fan is hypersensitive and more prone to jump on you for Wii bashing than 360 fans are protective of the 360 or PS3 fans are protective of the PS3. That is just not true.

I don`t want to generalize against Wii fans, I think most of them here are logical, reasonable and knowledgable, but a few bad apples stands out. Those who goes out of their ways to bash others are killing our good names of being a `Gamer`,

People who would ruin a thread by talking about things (flaming others) that has nothing to do with the topic is just disgusting.

Right, but that is hardly a phenomenon unique to Wii fans or Nintendo fans. I remember a period, a little while back, when if you said ANYTHING about the PS3 -- mentioned it at all, good or bad -- no matter what the thread was about, if MikeB saw it he would post pages and pages of propaganda about how the PS3 was by far the most powerful system in every conceivable way and "could run Halo 3 in 1080p at 60fps" etc. etc.

And there are many more examples for all three systems. Interestingly, I haven't seen many freakish fanboys of DS or PSP making troll/flame/propaganda posts. Some, but not many. Maybe because the DS is such a force of nature that DS fans have nothing to fear, and PSP fans would prefer to just ignore it.
