I highly doubt he's an astroturfer if that's what you're getting at.

Nah...something else.

And graphics, regardless of what system they are on.

Wright is a fake Xbox fan. He happens to hang out in Sony threads all the time and also happens to have "temporarily traded" his Xbox 360 for his friend's PS3.

Bullshit I say.

Why is this necessary? Why do people feel the need that they only have to like one console?

Avoiding and ignoring is perfectly fine. Actually, that's really by far the best thing to do when dealing with actual troll postings.
On this forum, trolling works so well because many people here personally strongly identify with some video game console brand, as immature that is. If these "fans" wouldn't simply react and just ignore those postings then yes, the number of troll postings would soon drop.

The problem I see is that many fans simply aren't that self-confident and mature to simply ignore it. Since they personally identify with the brand, I believe their subconsciousness will consider every "attack" on that brand as an attack on their own identity, and will thus lead to a desire to actively do something against it. So if they can't reply to that posting, they will instead intensify reporting such postings.

So if people are already complaining about "everyone was already banned unfairly", I believe that this would just make it much worse. People who have the feeling that they were banned unfairly/for nothing will not regret what they did and really reconsider their behaviour, they'll rather even try to get some kind of revenge for being treated unfairly, like by simply creating new troll accounts or just better obfuscating their trolling.

He is ALWAYS in the Sony forum leaving negative comments and has been horrible to me multiple times on a personal level. I understand your point but maybe if you knew the full picture you would see how my reaction to his comments is fair. 

I see more threads with people complaining about Microsoft threads getting derailed than I see actual Microsoft threads. Instead of complaining about how everyone is against Microsoft, why don't you just ignore them and keep talking about information relevant to you?
