Isn't that the point of messing with someone? to get a rise? You guys play right into it too....I think you enjoy all the loving attention Peanut and company give you!

P.S. Don't ever take forums seriously.... it's the interwebs for christ sake!

That's one point of view.

But, with the increased reliance our culture has on technology, it'd be nice to get some decency going.

You sir have been living in a bubble!

People in real life situations have little decency...I don't know why you think they would have more on the internet.

The internet is the one place you can go and be a total ass and not feel badly about it. You don't ever have to speak or deal with these people in real life so you can feel free to unload.

Which is why they created the block feature. Wouldn't it be nice to just block miserable people in real life? Hell yes.

Would it be nice for some decency? Sure! Will you get it on the internet? probably not the best place to look.
================================================== =====

I'm not exited about hand-helds. Don't get me wrong, many of the handheld games look amazing compared to the green/black oldies. I just never seem to find the time to play them. If I'm at home, I have my console. If i'm out i'm usually doing something that requires my attention. I do play them occasionally on road trips.

Except that this is a forum that can attract children and has rules to follow. When someone in real life is being a dick you can do something about it. On the internet its just really aggravating. If this sh*t happens in real life then why the hell do you want to have it on the internet? A forum is for people to socialize and to express themselves. Who the hell wants to get their thoughts and opinions sh*tted all over if this is the place to put them. No one here is mature enough to correct someone or respect someone's opinions and that's just sad. Especially when they play the age card. Blocking someone solves nothing. Its just like ignoring someone in real life and just taking whatever they throw at you. Sometimes you got to be a man and defend yourself and end the damn issue once and for all. Not just for your sake but for everyone else that gets mistreated. If someone breaks a law you can't just say ignore them, you got to do something about it. Same should go for when someone breaks a rule. But you know, the rules here don't apply for some people. Just like it was stated before. If I go talk sh*t, I'll get ganged up on for trying to "unload".

Don't get me wrong, I understand your point. But when we have rules to go by its a different story. We might as well not have rules at all.

I disagree....blocking solves the whole problem. If you've come in here expecting to right the wrongs of this whole forum then that's exactly why you are getting the reception you are. If you've come here to be the "hero" you are fighting a losing battle.

Being a man isn't always about flinging your testosterone around and fighting the battle. Learning to walk away when the issue cannot be solved (for whatever reason) is also a mark of being a man.

Part of being an adult is learning to take things with a grain of salt. I've disagreed with many members here and there are some I just do not like. I avoid confrontation and if it comes for me I ignore it.

The more you acknowledge them and the fact that it bothers you the more they will play with you.

I say bring it. I can deal with it and it doesn't affect me one bit. My life won't change because people aren't mature enough for the internet.

I'm not trying to be a hero. I just stand up for what I believe in. Like I said before, blocking does not solve anything. Not in this situation. That's just you showing defeat and letting someone continue with their nonstop stupidity. How exactly does that solve that problem? It doesn't. Sh*t, if I don't let myself get pushed around in real life, what makes you think I will on the internet. If trouble finds me, don't expect me to just take it. Be realistic.

Be realistic? It's the damn internet.

Blocking solves the problem how? here let me explain something to you....

You block someone....they cannot see you and you cannot see them. Thus the fighting and stupidity cannot continue. TaDa! end of problem!

....but whatever...you are going to think whatever you want...and you will continue to clash with certain members.

You're right. There's nothing even to be a hero about.

She is being realistic. The fact that you say "Bring it on" is gonna make some people wanna come at you even harder now.

Blocking them makes it so you don't see their "nonstop stupidity." Seems like a solved problem to me. And no matter you say about it, someone's always there to "push you around" on the Internet.

Right there. You forget that self-expression doesn't always yield positive results.

Off topic, but am I the only one who says "Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson" whenever he is mentioned?

It has nothing to do with the people and everything to do with the section (I've seen you and Sergio blatantly insult people in this section, too, but have either of you gotten in trouble for it?). The section moderators are the ones responsible for making and enforcing the rules of this section, so it's a different set of rules enforced by a different set of people. You can think of this like a hosted subforum. The only time I'll step in is if something illegal is posted, as any host would do. Hopefully that clears up any confusion (and conspiracy theories).

I just don't talk to people who aren't worth my time. I have better things to do than to lose brain cells over a pointless argument that won't go anywhere, anyway.

And yes, this section of the forums is dealt with differently because if we used the rules that are enforced everywhere else, there would be no one here. Video game fans are a little more passionate about their hobby and are easily insulted by misinformation and blatant ignorance. So yes, discussion can get a little heated, but it shouldn't be something you take personally. As I've said many times, if you aren't sure about what you're saying, just ask. We won't judge you, and we'll answer your question. I've been here for over 7 years and I still ask about things I'm not sure about, or phrase my opinion with a bit of doubt in my own knowledge. It's easy.

Now, about this E3...

F*cking again!? How many times does it need to be stated that no one here gives a SH*T about different opinions as long as they make sense, aren't contradictory and are backed up by knowledge and facts?

Do you even know how much sh*t all of us in here don't see eye to eye on? We all don't fight constantly! We all respect those opinions because they have a proper foundation that can be argued as a true matter of opinion, as opposed to almost everything written in here by the people who constantly get sh*t on.

And you get ganged up on because the things you say ARE UNINTELLIGENT! Just because you try to word it properly or act like a big mature adult doesn't make the things you're saying any less idiotic.

If it were that simple then we should let trolls be stupid and roam the forums with no problem.

And also, you won't see them but they can see you. That's how blocking works from what I've seen.

I understand your point, but this is a special situation. This isn't a constant disagreement between two people. Something really needs to be done.

So passionate gamers are easily offended jerks who can't ignore a post or just point someone in the right direction because they want to look superior then everyone else? I'm a passionate gamer and I'm not childish about someone having bad taste or giving false info. If you corrected someone and they insist on arguing with you, then I can understand why someone will talk trash.

Does it f*cken bother you that much that someone isn't as smart? Do you seriously have to be such a f*cken little girl about everything, princess? Like I said before, are you not decent enough to correct someone's mistake? Do you always got to put someone on the spot? And that's not the end of it, it can't just be you to talk trash, your little posse has to join in the on conversation with meaningless posts. Again, like I said before, if someone argues with you after pointing them in the right direction, then feel free to say what you need to. You constantly call everyone kid but yet, you act like one. I thought you were a mature adult. And yet you talk sh*t to "children" on the internet.

Oh, remember this?

Remember how I responded? I didn't put you on the spot, I kinda went with your idea and I corrected you without calling anyone names. How is that so hard to do?

It's pointless to even talk to you. I'd rather not destroy my brain cells having looping debates with someone as ridiculous as you. So from now on, you're dead to me.
