Good stuff, people shouldn't get worked up about it.

I do think users (from any "faction") that post negative news for a company they obviously don't like, quite often, should be told to cut it out.

if the news is obviously false most of the time, yes. but if news is true, then no. are we being told what we can and cannot talk about now because of our gaming prefrences? moderations are there to take out the offensive posts from the forum, what you are suggesting is that moderaters can chose what we can and cannot talk about. are you fucking serious? 

It isnt what it is stating at all.  It just means dont go off topic and call users out for their posting habits or call them biased just because the thread/comment is negative.  Comments should always stay on topic and by calling people out it leads to arguments when it could have easily been avoided.  Private message that person or talk to a mod about it. Plus they have a report button as well.

i agree. but he said that if i, for example, a sony fan, post negative news about lets say xbox one constantly i should be told to cut it out.  what i am saying is that if i keep posting false news or obviously wrong news, then yes. but if i post true news and actual news that is negative then no, i certainly shouldnt have to "cut it out". i can post what ever i want, negative or not. negativity isnt breaking the rules, what he is suggesting that it should be.
