An anti-fan may yet have a place on a forum, and I believe here lays the heart of the issue. Bottom-line, on this forum, it is clear that for negative opinions, these must be backed by arguments and ideas. If a person has nothing but hate for something, it is most likely they will have little information or insight to offer. However there may be a person who hates/dislikes something but has very interesting reasons to. For example, some people hate DRM. Some people hate Motion Controls. So long as they are not just posting to ruin the fun of other users, their ideas may be insightful. The bottom line is that posts are meant to be interesting. If a person is simply annoying other users and is saying they dislike something but don't offer a reason or anything intelligent, they are really junk to the forum. I would go so far as to say that the same could be said about circle-jerking (agreeing to agree ad nauseam). |
As long as those people have a valid argument and are not there just to cause trouble they're welcome and I've not seen any of them pushed out or such.
