It's always going to be the same on forums.  People go after the person when they're unable to form a solid argument about the content.

"But ... but he was wrong once before! (posts link)."  Yeah, and I'm pretty sure everyone else has been wrong before, too.  How many people said the Wii U would be a success?  That Xbox would win this generation?  That the 3DS would never recover from that bad start?  I guess we shouldn't consider the arguments of anyone else again, ever, including ourselves?  I bet if they agreed with him they wouldn't be bringing up his past mistakes.

Glass houses, etc.

Prople aren't going to endlessly repeat all their rebutals everytime a naysayer say something. This isn't a full time paid job after all. Look around the forums. There's plenty of threads in which you'll find arguments and positions countering Colin's diatribes.

So instead they post in a different thread in a way that hurts their own credibility?  Not the smartest solution.  

I don't mind someone going after a media person for pattern behavior that is relevant to the topic at hand but "he was wrong about this other thing lol" is not a good look.  

And, no, if they can't be bothered to make an actual argument when they post in the thread I'm reading, I'm certainly not going to go hunt the forums to see if they made an argument somewhere else.
