I have seen fanboyism break out on here, but haven't seen it reach levels of stupidity I have seen on YouTube.  I have seen comments how the PS3 was trashed as having NOTHING good about it, and someone said that the original Killzone smacked down ODST. 

I guess without moderation, things go downhill in a hurry.

I am not saying YouTube isn't useful to host videos, but debate there goes into stuck on stupid, as I see it.  Please correct me here regarding this.

You, sir, are 100% correct. It's not limited to gaming either. Basically all topics are targets of the stupidity that is the YouTube community.

shows what happens when there are no mods to enforce rules.

this thread wins

Politics also fits into it.  I think my "fanboys" needs to be looked at broadly, to cover fanboys in all areas, including politics. 

Someone who controls the "You are a retard, STFU" lever to eject the dregs?

your ar emost correct i use to argue there at some times my self til it became so full of stupid aura i had to leave, if there is any place where fanboys run free in the wild its Youtube.

XD...
@ title...one word...YES!!!!

Reply to one comment, and you get dragged into the twit Olympics race:

Pardon my being harsh here.  I just went through a bit of YouTube trama.

Some people leave comments and are extremely arragont thinking they know it all. Ive proved em wrong and they just keep going making themselves look even more stupid. They even try to make out i said things i didnt just to try to win a completely different made up arguement :/.
