Online forums are more like groups of friends chatting and less like actual real world communities. If you say an opinion that pisses off your friends, they will make fun of you and turn their backs on you.
Welcome to internet forums! |
Disagree. I believe very few people know each other on this site. People see a poster and immediately put them with one of the three companies. If a Sony user sees an Xbox user a lot of times they often dislike them even if they don't know them personally. This goes vice versa too.
EDIT: I also want to say i did not read his last thread even though basil sent it to me. But i do agree with this thread. That we all need to be a little more lenient on peoples opinions. Although bashing should never be allowed.

Sorry for not explaining my point in further detail. I didn't mean to imply that people actually know each other here, form "groups," or anything. What I meant was that the reactions from the community more closely resembles the way your peers or friends would react to what you say. Not like a properly functioning society would. Because that is not what these forums are.
Yeah we should be more tolerant of people's opinions. That's a basic human problem, not a VGC problem. I won't be leadnig the crusade on here to solve humanity's problems. :P
