if any other user consistenly posted anti-Sony/MS threads like this i'm certain it wouldn't be tolerated . Twestern is completley aware of the annoyance threads like these cause but he continues to make them, they don't change anything , no one really cares and it's just attracts attention for it's contraversy .
The fact that you go into so much detail about why you dislike Home baffles me ; you originaly said you disliked home fair enough , you probably re-visited home knowing fully well that you wern't going to enjoy the experience. No one's really concerend with the content of your threads ( although some of the things you say are questionable ) but the motive and intention behind your threads is questionable.
Is it fair to say you'd be considered trolling/trollish if your name wasn't green ? I think so.

It would be trolling if I just made a thread "OMG lawl home sucks! phailstation confirmed!" but no, I actually come in and back up my claims why I think Home is an embarrassment.
And I just can't help but laughing at the people who are calling my claims questionable. Why would I make this stuff up?
- The next time I'm home I can take a video of the frame rate
- If the sound bug issue is still happening I'll take a video of dead silence if you like
- The video above proves that getting into a Red Bull plane is far from obvious
- If you'd like I can take a video of me waiting to play a game but that really wouldn't be that interesting.
What else is questionable?

I don't think it's trolling, but I do think that a thread like this is a little ridiculous (and I'm not saying you are the only one who does this).
It's pretty clear that you already knew Home sucked. And from reading the other responses, you've already made a note of this in a different thread that you started. The real question is why this warrants another thread? These kinds of topics are best left to blogs because it seems that you really don't want any discussion, you really just want everyone to know what you think of home. Your question of "What does Home do right?" seems more rhetorical than an actual opening for discussion.
I'm pretty sure that if I went and played Halo 3 again with the new multiplayer maps, I would come to the same conclusion as I had the many other times I've played the game. I just don't like the game all that much. But I hardly feel the need to express my opinion on a forum because there really is no "discussion" I'm interested in. I don't like the game, and no matter what anyone tells me about how great it is and what it does well, it won't change the fact that it just doesn't appeal to me. But if I DID start a thread like that, I'm pretty sure I would be called out for trolling or flamebaiting.
In other words, I think people should think more carefully before starting threads that really should be left to a personal blog or something. If you really do want a serious discussion about Home though, and you really are interested in seeing what, if anything, makes Home appealing to those who enjoy it, then I apologize for inferring that you really didn't.
As for the original topic, I haven't tried Home. And I never will. I didn't like the concept when it was first announced, and I know I won't enjoy it, so I don't even bother trying it. Some may call this being close-minded, but I call it knowing what I enjoy and don't enjoy. Although if there's a community that enjoys Second Life, I guess there could be a community that enjoys Home. I just don't care about why they enjoy it because I know that I won't. And thus I don't feel the need to make inane threads like this.
