So fanboys don't have any right to post on a forum according to you?

Fanboys should be investigated accordingly to make sure they are not working for a corporation. Especially now when these new consoles are about to launch and these viral marketers are all over the place.

Some of you people take this stuff so seriously...its borderline creepy.

This is serious. Microsoft is paying people to pretend to like anything and everything about the Xbox One and defend it vigorously.
You seriously don't think that's worth discussing?

Fanboys should be investigated? By who? how?

Microsoft are paying people, Sony are paying people, no doubt Nintendo are paying people too, as do Nokia, Samsung, etc. etc. etc.

Just be open minded, have an opinion, and do your research.

Or are we going to complain that Coca Cola have commercials on TV that are bias?

No...its video games. Supposed to be fun lighthearted stuff...

In a grand scheme of things I think the responsibility is on the readers and posters to be well informed and know if what they are reading is correct or written with an agenda. I don't think we need to police the internet for supposed "company fluffers" because they may posting wrong things or pushing an agenda.

Like its up to me to understand that the information posted is incorrect and discard it, not up to you to find and hide all of the fake posted information from me ...
