Why go into threads for games/consoles you hate?

[Super_Boom]

First reason is that I have to because I'm a moderator.

Secondary reason is as Vivster said. This a forum, and not an FC, and so discussion is essential. Sure, some users take it too far, but opinions shouldn't be censored for being negative.

Third reason is when an OP might be drawing an implied comparison. First reason aside, if I see a thread talking about Naruto, I'll do my best to ignore it and hope it dies quickly. If I see a thread claiming Naruto as the greatest anime/manga series over the past decade, I'll get triggered enough that I'll feel compelled to say something.

I'm probably missing the point...so forgive my ramble.
