In a rivalry, you "talk trash" about the competition when you have no actual interest in them.

Actually the only interest you have in them is that they stand in the way of your team.

Would a Toronto Maple Leafs fan buy Montreal Canadian jerseys? No....he just bashes them in sports conversations.

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

@Carl Thanks I think it is funny as well, and I can't wait to see him post here.

Jay, is that you in there? :P I hope you're not talking to yourself this time.

I always thought it would be a good feature if you could see where a user is most active (i.e. most active in the Nintendo forum, Sony forum, etc).

It wouldn't take much to then spot something a bit funny going on. A lifelong single format gamer, with 75% of their posts in a different subsection? Seems legit.

I definitely don't do this. I rarely say anything negative in the first place. Mostly because most of the forums for video games is overflowing with negativity anyway.

Its not just people who post negative news, its the people who are constantly negative about certain companies. They only hang around to piss people off and to fuel the dick measuring contests.

You can always tell a troll "news" thread by the OPs actions in the thread. If all they do is post the thread and avoid it like the plague, its generally posted to get a reaction.

We all know who these people are. The best way to deal with them? Dont give them the reaction they want.

Yeah, I agree. I don't see why people think being negative for the sake of it is a good idea. What do you gain from it anyway?

I don't see why everyone can't just be nice, and if they can't be, then just not say anything. Is that really all that hard?

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
