How can stating that Switch doesn't directly compete with PS/Xbox be offensive and a platform attack (even without a reasonable long justification)?

Without a justification/reasoning, it more reeks of a distaste for the platform rather than a mere feeling that it is 'just another device' in a vacuum of the market. No matter what picture you paint, an argument can be made that it is in direct competition with other devices fighting for people's dollars in an enclosed space. The counter argument can be made, most certainly, but you need to be prepared to back it up (especially considering where you are ~ a site dedicated to sales). It would be like someone being brought up on criminal charges without basis. No evidence/witnesses, etc, etc... People wouldn't (nor shouldn't) take that seriously and would rightfully cause backlash. Same principle applies here.

Despite I never posted again since page 38, I was banned after this post on page 40, without warning or explanation.
I only posted that the switch was on indirect competition, explaining exactly why and backing it up.
It´s like talking about if Call of Duty and Splatoon are direct competitors or not for your dollars. I guess nobody is going to be banned because of that right?.
I got accussed of having dark thinking and wanting to degrade Nintendo without justification and nothing happened to those people.
What moderators could achieve with this kind of behaviour was to kill the thread or at least the good exchange of ideas. When this page was reached ,(42), nobody wrote anything more until now.
Maybe I´ll be banned because of this too without reason again, but I have to say this because I love to write about ideas and back them up, I like to discuss without insulting and describe not only the good but the bad from every system (Despite in this case there is not good or bad, just an argument about the nature of a console and the markets where its succesfull)
Like when in a sport game, the umpire became more important than the game. That shouldn´t happen, it´s no good. Not good for the writers, and no good for VGCharts forum.
Edit: Just in case, also it was mention that calling the switch a casual thing was downgrading it. In my case, I didn´t say that the switch was casual at all.
I don´t think it is. I even think that it brought more core players than the other 2 consoles behind it. What I did say that the Wii was for a casual and family market, and I think that is true and quite diferent. There were never such a broad audiece with videogames as the Wii had.
