ioi said: I have read the thread. You jumped in straight away with a string of laughs because somebody expressed an opinion that they liked a particular console. It was unneccessary. You then continued by arguing and making it worse. Yes, the PS2 had more games and a more varied selection. That is not the same as saying it had a better selection which is down to personal preference. I could proclaim the N-Gage as my favourite games machine of all time - it's my choice. You are welcome to argue why you feel it isn't, but jumping in and insulting someone because they express an opinion isn't exactly the way to a harmonious discussion...

ioi said: Nobody is getting a pass for anything - it is your attitude that is causing the problem not what you are saying or believe. Let's not go over the point again - it maybe one of English - but a better selection and a more varied selection are not the same thing. If I select three things and they are all really good I have a better selection than anyone else - I have selected better, the things I have selected are better than a similar selection made elsewhere. This has nothing to do with the size or how varied. To be honest though, you only took this approach later - seemingly to dig yourself out of a hole. Your initial post was insulting another user for their preference which isn't in keeping with the rules and spirit of the forum. Especially in a thread like this where the original post is just asking people what their gaming path has been in an attempt to spot some trends. Like it or not, some people did choose GC or XB last gen and all we are doing here is try to see why and how many people that affects. To dismiss anyone who fits into that category as you do is immature and inflammatory.

Mods, clearly what is needed is the "ignore" feature found in other boards. Obviously some 12-year-old who can't accept that others have different opinons than himself and thinks anyone with half a brain gets "pissed" over Internet postings is someone I'd like the option of just never seeing their insipid posts again.

In your opinion, of course. I have a Cube and a PS2 and Cube has better games in my opinion. Sure, obviously more people share your opinion than mine, but that does not make it right. Perhaps someday when you are a little older you will be ready to realize that other people have differing viewpoints from your own. And maybe, just maybe, perhaps eventually you'll come to realize that if you want people to respect your viewpoints, you will have to respect theirs.

To dismiss anyone who fits into that category as you do is immature and inflammatory. I owned all 3 systems and if you look I was flamed by elprincipe. Let me help you. Mods, clearly what is needed is the "ignore" feature found in other boards.

Need more? Look over his posts. it's not me, but the two who kept flaming me who kept this going. Which you seem to have joined in on the flaming. It is clear bias here, so ban me. I don't give a fuck! If I can't state truth and get flamed and have my words taken out of context and have it ok'd by biased admins and mods, I see no reason to waste time with a bunch of asshole fanboys. I was right and no ammount of flamming will change that! The PS2 had the best selection, I was in no hole as I said SELECTION FROM THE START! Don't believe me? Look at my first post, I said selection which I further defined only to be attacked. I was not wrong, I hope one day you will not be admin, as you are too biased to have earned such a task. Good day to you, I leave you to your nintendo rocks and anybody who disagrees is a flaming troll and needs to be banned forum. FYI, In your opinion, of course.

Ban him, if he haden't responded in such a manner none of this would have happened.

Good day to you, I leave you to your nintendo rocks and anybody who disagrees is a flaming troll and needs to be banned forum.

ioi said: Death you're close to a ban - tone it down a little, ok?

ioi said: Others may have retaliated more later, but you started it all off and kept it going. As I read the thread I become more and more annoyed by you. Telling someone in a nice, reasonable, mature way that their behaviour is unacceptable (as elprinciple did and as I am now) is not "flaming" - it is trying to avoid the conversation descending into chaos.
