Being ignorant and having double standards is and being a phoney is

Yoy should actully pity the hatters.. they don't have much fun in lives... and live on internet.. (no pus)

Very true. I'm referring to how people get bashed for respectful opinions. For example, I criticize something about a videogame that I felt could have been done better, and then get called out for it in a disrespecful way.

I guess it's more a matter of respectfulness, debate is great and I'm happy that people have a wide array of opinions, I just don't like it when people convey them in a rude way. 

Is this one of those cases where I can say, "We need names, OP"?

If you are constantly bashing one specific company, even if it is more multiple, horrid practices, it can be seen as fanboyish rage, however valid your points may be.

I know i've become more tolerable over the past years here, but I got a aways to go. Like I have mentioned before, it make this site more alive. Nobody likes a circle-jerk, or at the very least, they aren't very entertaining.

yeah ikr.
Criticise a certain game for looking average and end up with someone relentlessly trying to convince you it has artistic value like its the f***ing mona lisa.
