The most effective way to bash a console is to pretend that you like it, but then sneak in a negative tone, language and arguments. That way you lure the reader into thinking you are presenting valid arguments. Also, it makes it harder for chritics to just dismiss you as a fanboy.

He is trying to steer the following discussion into questioning the game's GOTY status:
"YOUr thoughts.....will GEOW 2 NOT take away the GOTY 08 awards anymore?"
And in the same sub-forum he has a thread with this blatant title (the main competitor to GoW2):
"MGS4 = Gone Gold Ceremony! [MUST READ] --- GOTY 08 NO DOUBTS!!!"
