Speaking of mouse versus controller, I had a coworker tell me awhile ago that he hated PC gamers. When I told him I game on both, he was like, "well ... I guess you're okay."

When I said, trying to be positive, that they both have their strengths and weaknesses, I could tell that he became somewhat offended. In a defensive tone, he said something along the lines of, "what strengths do you think the PC has over a console?" I was nonplussed, as I thought that was a commonly held opinion and thus a safe thing to say.

The rest of the conversation went something like this:

Me: "Well, for instance, how the mouse is more accurate ..."
Him: "In what way? I think the controller is just as accurate."
Me: "But, you know, how doing fine tasks like browsing or using an app is faster and easier with a mouse ..."
Him: "I use a controller for browsing all the time, it's just as fast and easy as with a mouse."
Me: "Yeah, um, you're probably right."

Guys like them want to play directly against m/kb users so they can prove their superiority. Please, let them. Please.
