But when your the bully its easy to say "its their own fault".

Its harder to just stop? this is when it should stop tbh.
You guys picking on him need to back off, its not good for the site that this happends here.

Its even worse for the site when we have users like him.There is zero problems with having preferences, but when you are that blind, but when you are that obtusive, it gets to the point that it kills everyone enjoyment in discussion and arguments, because in the end it will be down to "Look how much a victim I am!" and you wont have a healthy discussion or relationship with users here.All it was needed was for him to acknoledge his mistake and stop creating excuses and making himself look like a victim.Instead, he pushes on.

It simply kills discussions.For as much as I dont like Kerotan and Miyamotto, they try and have some king of logic behind them.If this were any other forum, Quickrick would have been banned long ago for the reasons above.

Edit:Plus its everyone thats mad at him, not only a selected fans of a fanbase.

I think we all have urges to go off on certain users because of the behaviours you described. The big issue with that is we do not personally know many of the people on this site and so we don't know what they are going through in life. When we resort to tactics like bullying, we run the chance of pushing someone who may be in a volatile state in real-life over the edge, which is really not worth it. Beyond that it contributes to the degradation of a healthy atmosphere that encourages sharing of opinion and having civil arguments.

Now of course there are users that do engage in problematic behaviours that are also detrimental to the state of the discussion. When such users pop-up I think it is just best to counter their arguments and if they engage in inciting behaviours (due to the nature of this site, it often comes down to directly or thinly-veiled "my favourite console/company/video game is better than yours and so yours should fail" type of rhetoric) then it is just best to report them to a mod as opposed to attacking them.

I am pretty much sure that we are all rooting for a certain device or company (I know I certainly am, which you can probably tell from my avatar), which as you mentioned is fine and even healthy with regards to having a diverse discussion on the prospects of gaming and consoles. Where it becomes dicey is when certain users become disruptive and provocative which prompts other users to attack that user; this ends up pretty much creates a toxic circle where one user(s) goes after another which essentially runs all healthy discussion into a ditch.
