I just find it atrocious how little you can say in this website that apparently won't warrant a ban. On the internet, you have this veil where you can say whatever you want cause you're behind the computer screen but on this site, there are literally things I can say in RL that would have no repercussion in social talk but in here, it's like I called somebody's mom a cunt or something and spat in their mouth. That kind of scenario (if it made sense) should be rare but i see it happen too much and I hate to sound spiteful but I have to use my personal ban examples:
Me: Mildly educated statements pertaining xbox brand. Kinect is dumb. More mildly educated statements pertaining xbox brand.
Mods: Ban. (for not explaining how kinect was dumb)
Are you shitting me? I could have said that to anybody in RL and they would have gone "oh ok, that man is not a fan of the Kinect device." The ban was short and relatively insignificant but it's the principle that stings.
The point is I think people have become really, really sensitive in this site and the mods are the protector of feelings or something. I have more of a gripe against mods and the "rules" than the regulars going back and forth about the xbox one or whatever other inane shit.

Completly agree with that first paragraph. It's almost orewellian what you can and cannot say.
On a sidenote while I agree that a ban was a little harsh for that, i can see why it was done. You can't just go in a claim something is stupid without explaining why to someone. Even if it is self evident....
I'll use my own personal opinion as an example.
"I think the possibilities of kinect could have been wonderful, but it failed to live up to expectations and failed as a device to really bring anything useful to the table. It turned out kinda stupid..."
