That's because you're stuck in this us vs them mentality that came about from last year. Its simple, don't hate congratulate. Console Preferences shouldn't go beyond what console you prefer to play on. 

I strongly disagree. This isn't about having fun seeing fanboys rip each others heads of. It's just that congratulatory wanking is the most boring and contentless post anyone could make. Just short of just writing *spam*.

Congratulating something or agreeing with something doesn't further discussion at all. It's just meaningless smalltalk. Forum filler if you will.

I think that people who only post the positive stuff of whatever they believe in while dismissing anything negative or spouting empty lies in form of congratulations are far worse than the other sort of fanboys who are hating on every competitor. Because not only are they boring as hell, but they consider themselves superior despite having the same giant biases than every other fanboy. Haters are at least honest(not in their talking but in their actions).

A difference in opinion.

Hating for the sake of hating is just as much wanking and contentless as you would suggest praising is.

Granted, I agree but I also don't think there is any distinction between the various aspects of fanboyism. Either is all wanking or none of it is imo.

EDIT: Nor are they entirely divorced either, there is no group of haters and congratulaters, they're all the same.
