So, 2 people banned for disagreeing with ethomaz? Is it a forum where OPINIONS are shared. IF someone disagrees with the opinions and asks for that person to prove it, is that a bad thing? More than a few times, I have tried to use my poor memory as a basis for a comment and people threw out the prove it line. If I didn't prove it, I was supposed to be full of crap. So, even if ethomaz provided proof of his "credentials", who is the person to judge the validity of those and then determine that he is now an expert? Does it really matter? The real answer is people here disagree all the time and Banning was not the answer for people just saying prove it.

OT - I also think that we won't know whether this will impact anything until someone breaks this all down to a point where anyone on this site can have an opinion without having to "Prove It'.

Nsanity wasn't banned for disagreeing with Ethomaz. Nsanity was banned for coming into a thread only to toss out non-contributing inflammatory posts about another member and then once he was called out and challenged for it he ignored it. He came and did what he intended to do, which was to trash talk Ethomaz.

It was embarassing.

I disagree with you somewhat. 

I assume that you are an avid reader of Nsanity's postings of Info when coming to your conclusion.  On a # of them ethomaz does the same thing as he did to start with on this thread.  He says something to the effect that whatever the OP posted it wrong and then in a different post when pushed he posts a source that is another differing OPINION and states them as facts.  Obviously this is done frequently by just about everyone and that is the point of the forums.  I have to admit, most of the time I can't tell whether he is full of crap or not as I don't have the background to do so.  The frustrating part is that to me he is trolling many of the threads with info about XBOne and claiming that the OP is wrong and still often sourcing things to places that have another opinion.  I am sure if you posted as many things Xbox related as Nsanity does each day only to have someone constantly going after your threads without a lot of info in his first few comments you would get sick of it.  I don't think ethomaz's first post is too much different than most of his posts in Xbox related threads.  It seems to always derail the thread into some type of "my opinion is better" argument.  Usually wiping out any interest in further discussion.

Of course Nsanity could have been nicer about how he commented, but there is a point where people generally want to make sure that everyone knows that he is doing this if they don't frequent all of the threads.  Just talking about this seems to get people banned, so that kind of proves his point to begin with.
