I already did explain why i feel his argument is weak in another post.

-Snip-

I am pretty sure the is also rules about going off topic in a thread etc. So lets get this thread back on topic if Rol wants to continue this we can do so in another thread if he wants to make one or in PM.

That is essentially why I made that reminder.

Because "I already did explain why i feel his argument is weak in another post" means that you're suggesting Rol's entire latest reply did nothing to refute what said in your previous post.

Having to ask you to explain why you don't think those were proper counterpoints will also contribute to going off topic, except it will take even longer to resolve because they're forced to make extra posts asking the other person to clarify their position.

Imagine if I say "I disagree with you that the sky is blue. It's actually red", and someone makes a thorough reply explaining why it's in fact blue.
To which I reply "Let's just leave it at that. But you're wrong. Read my previous statement again. I'm ignoring everything you said in response."

That's not a very nice way to end a discussion, right?
If you think that his response isn't properly adressing what you were saying, or you disagree with the logic, (which can certainly happen) then you should at least make an effort to explain why you think so. Or bow out of the discussion, without adding "...but your argument is weak and means nothing".

With that said though, if you're drinking then you probably should take a break from that discussion. There's no rush.

As for off topic, I don't think comparing Playstation management to Xbox/Nintendo management is neccesarily off topic in and of itself.
But if it goes off the rails and/or never ends, then a moderator may need to redirect the discussion.

Look my friend that rule was not put in place for someone replying to "someone saying a product is shitty". It was put in place "for the person saying a pruduct is shitty".

In other words if a user says to you " Your console is shit and gives an explaination why" you can reply back with "Yeah you might feel that way but your argument is weak and i dont want to get into it with you its off topic etc" the is no rule against a response like that. And that was simply what my response was.

Also nice of you to snip out the rest of my reply once again explaining my reply to him....

He added nothing new in his reply i dont even know why you feel the need for me to explain this. You can see his original post you can see my reply back to him and than you can see my reply to why i think his post is weak. Why does this need to keep going???
