Again, yes. Now fuck off back to your church and don't come back until you develop a sense of shame and perchant for integrity.

This thread is pathetic.The only people taken in by your crap are idiots with their heads in the sand, and no scientist is even slightly threatened by your bullshit. This pathetic peice of trolling will get you no-where.

Mate it's one thing to argue against the "points" he has made but this end part is just an attack on his beliefs even more so than this thread encroaches on yours. If you want your point to be heard about how you feel someone else is being an idiot because of how they put their questions on here then the end of your own post makes you come off in a far worse and preachy light right here.

See your account was made on here at the Start of December 2013 so welcome to the site man, and don't take other peoples beliefs to the point where they seem to genuinely anger you, tisn't good for you.

 People don't come to online forums for involved debate, and most people on the internet are too emotional, take things personal, and cannot hold down the debate without getting offended. OooSnap is intentionally playing on this to get people upset, that much is clear to everyone.

In short OooSnap was purposely trying to start a flame war, it's trolling and nothing more. You know it, I know it, he knows it, everyone knows it. If he wanted to have an intelligent discussion on the topic it would have been evident in his post, he didn't, he wanted to piss people off and rile people up and I treated him with the disdain that behaviour warrants.

Now on to the lighter topic of our introduction, thanks for the welcome, it's a pity you basically saw me chastising a fool as my first post. I'm usually (or at least I like to thing I am), more friendly than that. I'm finding it interesting here. So few gaming sites have people so knowedgeable about the economic structures of the games industry and I feel I'm genuinely learning stuff which is new, while also finding a decent venue to share my opinions with people who're actually interested in them. While there's passion, and people who clearly prefare one console, game, or genre over the other, there's a refeshing lack of fanboyism in this forum; which is quite frankly tantamount to a miracle right there. I hope to stick around for a while yet, so I'll see you around I guess.

I edited down the back and forth to just include the main bits, it's just that you know yourself and I agree with you that this sort of posting is only ever done to annoy people. Thing is on VGchartz if you see someone trolling or obviously flaimbaiting you can click report on them, the mod team on here are pretty sharp and know well what people are aiming to do when it comes to causing grief. The only issue the mods here have, is they can't read everything they mostly just come to some threads when a post gets reported, so often rather than getting called out on VGchartz and responding to it, the best action is to report the post for whatever you think is offensive about it and a mod will look it over and be drawn to check the thread for flaming and trolling going on.

Sorry I'm a tad tired so not as clear as possible I would think, but if someone holds up a sign which says "I'm a big troll" just click report and a mod will sort them out, if you reply instead and insult them for acting like a troll or an idiot then when they return to the thread they'll just report your angry reply and the mods will come and judge you based on what is reported, if you're attacking someone pretty badly they'll sit you out in the sin bin for a day or 3, it happens literally all the time so you can expect to fall into it at least once.

Like someone else said tho, this OP has a history of making pretty weak threads like this and more of the community will ignore them if threads are constantly posted which have zero content or reason to join so then people like that do indeed move on, regarding fanboyism on this site there is a bit of it to be had which no one can deny there are threads set up by community heads on here which are the Hubs of news for each gaming system and the PC and now and again it can breed a slightly them/us kind of attitude. Most of the time it's friendly banter between the groups if one company does something stupid the other 2 have a chuckle over it while the PC master race brags that it's playing World of Warcraft in 4k resolution since the 720ptwins were in diapers :D (I love me some warcraft) but yeah like I said, the mods here are decent and crack down on fanboywars pretty damn fast if it gets in any way nasty.

But yeah - going to sleep! welcome again and try not to get burned for calling a tool a tool :D
