To be fair, it is easy to consider threads like Kowenicki's as flamebait, when you know the history of the thread creator.

In this case, it wasn't. But you can't blame people for feeling like it was [because of his history]. 


Yeah, you can blame people. If they werent so sensitive about a piece of plastic that plays videogames then they wouldnt be so quick to jump all over kows nuts for posting something potentially negative in the Sony forums.

If you're going to play the 'it's just videogames why do you care so much' card, then it's a two-way street. I think being so invested in one company that you constantly take digs at or try to spread fud about its competitor, so much so that you create threads solely for that purpose, implies a heavier investment in the thing than the average drive-by 'kill the messenger' type comment in the actual thread.

But I don't think it's a valid argument in the first place, because you're on a videogames messageboard telling people to not care so much about videogames.
