[QUOTE="TRF C A Iversen, post: 358043, member: 12312"] No you don't have the wrong approach, just your own. Everyone has a different idea of how to handle online debates like this. To be honest, I have on and off ignored a lot of stuff that got said to me about my interests, my views on things, the PS3 I own, you name it, but y'know I started to realise that no-one's pinning a shiny medal on my chest for being nice to people who stir and trying to be moderate. What happens is there's sometimes a really blunt and dismissive attitude coming through from one or two where blanket negative statements are made about other peoples interests (whatever they may be). I sometimes jump to the defence on those issues, and then all of a sudden I'm the guy who's attitude is off. The thing is, it's easier to have words with someone like me, because I was the one defending an issue and am trying to reason down [I]what I see as[/I] an unreasonable point of view. No-one has the ******** to say anything to the protagonist, because although this is the internet, this is also peoples leisure time and they don't wanna feel uncomfortable when that guy posts back at them. Another thing to consider is when someone says things like "Paying for online is crap" that it's not meant to be offensive. I think paying my power bill is too. My views on this whole PS3/Xbox thing includes me saying many positive things about Xbox too. I just can't see them being put in quotations for some reason. End of the day, I love civilised debate, and I don't mind disagreeing with people. I don't particularly like it when people say that their ideas or way, are exactly right. It's only their perspective. Like mine is my own. :) Finally, I hope we get to play some Rugby 2012 sometime too! :) [/QUOTE]
