Wrong again, this is a forum, anything you say here you say to everybody, so yes, in a way, you are talking to me. Like I said, you've insulted me, should I not report you and hope you get banned? You clearly missed the point on the first go around, I can only hope you get it this time.

If I were to insult you have every right to not only report me but defend yourself. But there should be rules in place that prevent users from critizing other users. You see as long as I've been on this website, I've built up a reputation. That reputation is either negative or positive depending on who you ask. Obviously the ones who view me in a negative way will find my posts annoying, unnecessary or just plain irrelevant. They have every right to do that. I have a few users who I don't care much for myself. That doesn't give me the right to go telling them why I don't like them and why they should stay out of a certain forum section because I think they're not wanted. Why? Because that is just one person's opinion.
If I go into a thread about Xbox One asking people if they're buying it or not and post my opinion on it, i shouldn't get a mob of users attacking me personally. For example, if I posted:
"I'm not getting the Xbox One. It doesn't offer any features I find useful. I don't like paying for something that is free on other platforms and I don't like the huge focus on entertainment"
This is my opinion, I'm entitled to it. I wouldn't be offending anyone , except maybe Microsoft
These are the type of comments I would get:
Username1: "LOL like you would ever considered buying one anyway"
Username2: "oh look another Vgking comment"
Username3: "the usual suspects taking over the thread again"
Obviously I don't get these comments over and over but I do get them way too often. All those users would have been better off ignoring my comment as their comments added nothing to the discussion and would have led to a derailed thread. These comments go unmoderated 90% of the time and leads people to believe the behavior is acceptable, which it apprantly is on this forum.
