Why is being a vocal member of a community frowned upon?

I once said facts about a game's visuals and was viciously attacked for "bashing" the company and the game.
Just for naming a single fact. Could you believe it?

What has this world come to :(

To be fair, in the same thread you also called Nintendo fans hypocritical and a hive mind.

As someone who believes in letting others make their own minds up, I'm posting the link to the thread - for others to read and make their own minds up whether you were indeed viciously attacked or not. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=183695&page=1

I'm always dubious about threads like this, which allow people to subversively complain about other people in this way. It can lead to flaming by stealth.

Which you have to admit is the best kind of flaming :)

Also you need to discern between sarcasm and flaming. The mods obviously did since I didn't get banned for any of this.

I realize this was a topic close to your heart but at least with posts coming from me you can assume them to be all in good fun ;)

But don't tell the others. I have a good reputation of hating everything Nintendo to lose.
