This guy must be a troll too: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8531129

It only stifles rational thought if you let facts bother you. If me comparing sales of system x and system y showing that system y is underperforming bothers you or is "vitriolic" per you opinion then that should not be my problem.

No, I said that the mod team came up with a special rule to mitigate the damage Kerotan can do. That rule failed to do its job and only created new problems, so it was ditched.

Maybe CGI-Quality will be removed from the mod team because of his trolling and then I could take over. I'd make it a priority that nobody would quote your posts to say something mean to you.

It's not so much the facts that bother people, but the way they're presented... yes, you can compare X and Y, and say Y is underperforming, but the way you say it can make a world of difference.

Except it isn't trolling. I'm not siding with anyone, but what he said was actually correct in this case, and recent acitivites and posts in this thread have been discussed in mod chat, and as far as I'm aware none of us actually considered that trolling.

From a quick observation of the last few pages of this thread It seems like whenever someone replies to you with something you don't like, you cry "troll", even when it legitimately isn't trolling. This is just my take on it, although I'm sure the other mods would agree.

You must be talking about Kerotan's posts, because I have never seen you use actual facts while discussing sales.

A typical example of your posts:

No analysis. No rationale. Just "85 million is too high," despite there being 3 counterexamples, or 30% of Nintendo's entire console library. And you had no reason to say this: Obviously, if you were posting 65 million in a prediction thread, you would think 85 million is a high estimate. But instead of discussing the actual factors that you expected to contribute to the Switch finishing at 65M, you decided to illogically attack the entirety of Nintendo just to annoy people.

For the record, Kerotan wasn't banned for the mere act of comparing the Switch versus the 3DS + Wii U. He was banned for spouting nonsense like "It's a shame that the Switch won't pass the 3DS and Wii U combined. It really puts everything into perspective!" while at the same time celebrating the PS4 being slightly ahead of the PS3 at the same point in its lifecycle. He intentionally uses double standards to try and bait people into arguing with him.

You two have a lot in common.

I mean I don't know what your goal is here, and a little effort goes a long way y'know... seems like you put less effort into posts you don't agree with or if things aren't going the way you'd hoped, which is something else I've noticed from your posts in this thread.

Basically you've been presented with a logical reply and don't know how to respond, so resort to cheap short posts, which achieves nothing but does back up my observation. 

2) You're right - I got lazy with the 2nd sentence in that post and should have explained why 85M is too high for a Nintendo system (for the record, the only non-outlier system that has crossed the 85M is the GB if you include the GB Colour sales numbers to it. The DS and the Wii are outliers for obvious reasons). 

1) As for Kerotan's post that you used as an example, there is no double standard. The PS4 is outpacing the PS3 sales, the Switch isn't outpacing the 3DS + WiiU, systems of which it is the successor. There would have been a double standard if the PS4 wasn't outpacing the PS3's sales and Kerotan was touting it as a success.

2) I'm answering your paragraphs in reverse order because, taken together, it is also a double standard. You say that 85 million is too high because GB, DS, and Wii are the only single consoles to pass that mark. But how does that mesh with your previous standard of combining 3DS + Wii U sales when setting a goal for the Switch? Clearly, 85 million is easily attainable if you think that it's sensible to combine 3DS and Wii U sales.

Okay let's break this up into two parts;

Firstly I don't see what point you're making considering I personally don't find your LOL post trolling, as you only made it because you didn't agree with my responses, it seems to be your go-to reply whenever someone posts something you don't like... so y'know, yeah.

Secondly you actually were presented with a logical post, I was neither trolling nor griefing you with my reply, in fact one of my responses could be useful in the future, with the system X and Y examples... like I said, you can compare X and Y, but the way you present your comparison can make a big difference. You're right, I did say people weren't trolling, and the reason behind that being because they weren't. I've already mentioned that you cry "troll" whenever someone replies to you with something you don't like, but clearly you were too busy working on your masterpiece of a reply to read it, either that or you simply ignored it.
