Let's get the obvious out of the way first. Yes, this is a "general discussion" forum. Yes, that means the topics don't have to be about 3D graphics, chips or indeed anything PC or technology related.

Now let's get the next obvious thing out of the way. There has become an increasing trend of late for threads in said forum to be of the following nature:

"I believe this and I'm going to try and get you to believe it too...

I don't believe what you believe, so I will try to convince you otherwise...

Well, I still believe what I originally believe, so I'm going to continue with plan A...

Fool, you're an....

etc

I'm not against free speech or bizarre discussions of any sort, but the threads that I'm sure you know what I'm on about are simply not discussions; not even remotely. I don't what's more odd - the sheer pig-headed behaviour of some users who insist and force feeding their views onto the forums or the users who bite and carry on with the punch-up.

By all means let's have discussions of a religious/political/serious nature but when people aren't buying what you believe (and especially when you've been particularly verbal about it), can folks not repeatedly post threads of the same nature?

Now...about a general discussion....oooh, it's all snowy here!

My posts were meant to be discussions, but turned into people flaming me. I was being the better person by letting them do there flaming and I just kept producing the facts, to further the conversation. How can you say you're not against freedom of speech when all you did was lock up newer threads that didn't even have a post after the initial first? There was no forcing of any views. I've been on this board for almost 8 years now and all I can safely say is good-bye to this biased site. The only people that are pig-headed are those that attacked me and you for locking the threads. There's no freedom of speech here. You're nit-picking just like everyone else. :rolleyes:

Granted this board does some some bias. And there are some smug people that need to pull their heads out. And then you can add that some of the mods are wife beaters (not that there is anything wrong with this).

But you are gona throw away 8 years for this?

As for freedom of speech. This is a privately owned site. If/when they want to run it like a bunch of pricks then they can. You should feel privileged to be able to "hang" with this group of elitists'. Hey, what makes you think you are good enough to hang-out here?

And I guarantee you will not find many other sites that have such a variety of otherwise inclined leftest liberal wackos' that are willing to stand-up for pot-shots.

So if you do decide to leave don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya, on the way out.

Dave, if I do remember correctly, complained back then that people were
A) going-off topic
B) did post things of no relevance to consoles
C) creating topics for the sole intent to flame
D) creating a high noise level

Aren't all of those actions likewise appearing here in this forum? Maybe not as often (something i'd say reflects the fact there are less forum goers here then in the console forum).

How can General Discussion go off-topic? 8)

Oh oh, let me guess: you're referring to me? Oh please let it be, so I can add that fine distinction to my ever-growing list: Nazi, homosexual, child beater, and now wife beater.

Beats the time I was called a long-haired-no-good-dope-smoking-guitar-toting-pansy-assed-tree-hugging-liberal, and I didn't think that would happen! (And I did NOT tote a guitar!)

When I am refering to you I will make it very apparent.

Such as,


John,

What's it like having a set of bucktoothed dentures that are the envy of every horse in Minnesota?


AND, I was implying that wife beatings are a good thing.
