Well sometimes. But there are a lot of people who know how to say a lot without saying anything at all. And that can be taken two ways: either they just aren't saying things that are intended to display passionate feelings on issues, or they just really like pissing Orwell off in constructing arguments that are the equivalent of hot air. So more posts, doesn't always have to mean more need to convey opinions that are necessarily biased, but could mean other things as well.

For anyone to really be considered unbiased in a console sense, the average poster ought to be unable to tell what consoles the person owns without any external help. So in this case I wouldn't really know what consoles you own Zucas so for that part of the test you've passed. However I know that CGI_Quality definately owns a PS3 however im not sure what other consoles he owns. He has to be considered as biased towards the PS3 due to the sheer number of threads he creates in relation to the console and how hes prolific in PS3 related threads. In addition to this, I notice that Seece has raised complaints about his 'bias' and he seems more Xbox 360 orientated. The mark of someone who is truely unbiased even if favouring consoles owned vs not owned is that the person not raising the ire of people who own other consoles.
I suspect people in this thread are confusing bias with agreeability.
But yeah, more posts may mean a lot of things, I was considering the possibility that fewer posts meant that every post has more consideration placed upon them.
