Serious question, not meant as a troll: Why does expressing disappointment, skepticism, and/or a general state of being unimpressed constitute "not adding to the thread," while the various "looks amazing, can't wait!" posts are given a free pass? Are all of the various "new screenshots for X game out!" threads meant to be love-fests only? |
I agree to a point. I chewed out mrstickball in a thread a while back chiding him by saying that it's the "Microsoft Discussion" forum and not the "Microsoft is awesome" forum for the exact same reasons. You can't have a discussion if you don't allow posters to express their view.
On the other hand... go to a concert full of fans of the bands playing and say "Well their music kind of sucks" and see what kind of response you get. If you're going to go against the crowd then prepare for some backlash. In this case, short and abrupt comments don't help you out and only make you come off as a jerk.
You're right that you should be able to express your view, but a bit of tact goes a long way.
