But you guys love to talk about em :)

That is because Sony fans are nut bags with no souls.

I had to add to this gossip thread cause we all got to gossip about Sony fans vgchartzgossip.com Who the fuck on this site is working for Sony?!?!!?

I guess I've only been here since 2008, but ever since 2008 Sony fans have vastly outnumbered and out-voiced the MS fans on this site. I can see how 2006 and MAYBE 2007 were as you say, but from 2008 on, it's been Sony fans overrun.

That agree/disagree thing is complete bullshit. It makes me wonder why its implemented in the first place. It only feeds the troll wars

Agreed.

Jokes aside I do also think that the thumbs up feature simply promotes sheep-mentality.

In the issue of transpracy, I worked for Sony as a consultant.  I was brought in on short term project, and ended up staying for years and doing a few other things for them.  It was great to use the discount to get all sort of cool equiptment.  I still use my Sony speakers - but sadly my fancy AV Sony Reciever died.

Some of my friends still work there.

I still have some inside knowledge I haven't shared.  But I do get to laugh with some of the assumptions people make about the company.  They often couldn't be more wrong.  But like angury bees, I try to let them be (most of the time.)

That is actually pretty cool concerning your work experience and internal knowledge. No worries, as a 360 gamer I usually notice 360 trolls more because there are less of them so they stick out more than Sony people as they get stuck amonst the masses for me so I notice squables and fanboyish behaviour less on that front. That comment is not directly aimed at just you rather the forum in general that has a lot of arguing over small meangless things. For that matter, you will see a better side to my posting on GAF If you go I get a lot less annoyed at fanboyism. All is good Sir.

I was thinking after I wrote this, and remember a number of people I know that have worked for Mircosoft, including family memeber(s).  Including Bill himself(!) 

I also have Intel, Siebel, and other connections.  I have worked in a number of places (Throw in the LA Opera too!)  I guess you could say, "I really have gotten around.)

If you look over my post I think you would be hard pressed to call me a Sony Person. I think I'm a bit neutral - I like who is coming out with the most interesting tech, but have been accused of something else.
