But in that article the one that seems the angriest and has the most replies to random comments is you...

Haha, that's so funny. I didn't use one swear word and asked questions or asked people to explain. If that's being angry bro, I don't know what to tell you.

You might need to change jobs.

You don't need to use swear words. You're obviously the most irritated there and the one picking fights. 23 posts in that page. You're an angry mob all by yourself.

95% of people are stupid. easily influenced.

You tell them X they believe X without questioning it.


You know like in some islamic countries some guy that understands english takes the NewYork Times picks an article about how nice the new McDonalds hamburger tastes and then tells everyone surrounding him that it reads. "USA poisoning food in arabic countries"

And the people believe it.

This is just 1 example the same works in every society/community and almost every group of people.
US citizens believing nonsense.
Germans believing nonsense.
Greeks believing nonsense.
Also applies to gamers or audiophiles.


95% of people are just easily influenced and if you dont question  what people tell you then you usually end up as part of a pitchfork gorup sooner or later.

When I hear something (rumour or alleged reason etc.) I automatically try to see it from the exact opposite perspective. To get the full picture.  This way I keep learning new things every day.

Like I found out that owning a discrete soundcard does not make any sense when you use its optical output since it completely circumvents the soundcard. Its gives you 99.9% the same sound as if you would simply use the onboard soundchips  optical output.


Wise words, try to see stuff around you from different & above all always use a logic/scientific mind, question everything, prejudice is the mother of the most dreadful behaviours!!!

Hi friends.

Have you noticed that there seems to be some kind of pitchfork mentality in the vgchartz article comments section? What do I mean by pitchfork mentality? Think of a mob, with all their pitchforks, ready to kill the witch, the thief, or the perpetrator.

 

Some of the articles have such bad spelling that you can't even take them seriously. People are often upset at the perception that someone gets paid to write

"It looks like the effects have warn off" or something and it doesn't even make sense. Also, the editorials frequently have unpopular opinions. Sometimes the editorial writer writes a follow up article insulting the readers! This happened with a 'is this really next gen' type article a year ago. So, I think the articles just aren't up to snuff. No reason for commenters to be nice.

You get out of it what you put in I guess. Still the community should be above that and should within itself manage the quality of its own posts/comments.

Most of the community ARE above it in the sense that the articles are one of the least popular things on here and get very few comments. The people who take the time to comment are mad they read a poor article, and everybody else is just hanging out in the actually worthwhile sections of the site or reading actual articles elsewhere. And people are rude everywhere, especially when things suck.

Meh, I don't think that's it.


Maybe not, but there's a huge gulf in the number of comments on the articles and the amount of activity in the forums. I merely offered the explanation that not only fit the data, but why I never post comments on the 'articles' and they are usually unpleasant when I do.
