Sure, but if anyone to look at them is retarded, then you have 90% of the people retarded in the world for sure.
I don't like wrestling (WWE/WWF) at all, but I consider an absurd argument to call "retarded" people who enjoy it...
The point I'm making is that it's not nice to have something you're interested in, enjoy, care about or have a passion for belittled, ridiculed or in any way abused personally because of. Tobi's intimation that anyone who plays Fifa is a boy is ridiculing and belittling personally anyone who plays and enjoys Fifa and it should not be allowed.
If he thinks Fifa is shit he's free to say Fifa is shit, he should not be free however to use his opinion of Fifa as a basis for personally attacking someone who plays/likes Fifa.
Same as anyone who think that PES2008 is a complete rip off and insult to fans of past versions and an insult to the people who buy PES2008 can say that, they can't say "anyone who buys PES is a fucking moronic idiot". There is a line where comments about
something are fine, comments about
someoneare not fine, that line is being crossed and it should never have been allowed to happen because it builds up an atmosphere of anger, aggression and antagonism. I asked Tobi politely in the past to change his signature, he refused, so I wanted to make a point he would understand by belittling something he enjoys so he can see how it feels.
Any more OT shit in this this thread and there will be action taken, you have been warned!
I feel that the points I'm trying to raise here are directly on topic to this thread as they relate specifically to how people talk about the games and how they talk about each other, it's a line IMO that has not been picked up on by moderators and clarified, maybe I went over the top in the manner I chose to raise the issue but the point stands, criticising/belittling PES itself is not a personal insult, belittling the people who play PES is a personal insult and should not be allowed in this or any thread, vice versa belittling people who buy and enjoy Fifa should not be allowed in this or any thread or any signatures and such.
Raising awareness and understanding of where the lines is so that people will learn not to cross it is the cornerstone to shaping a community into having awareness of how to communicate and treat their fellow posters, as a moderator of 5 years standing it's a lesson I learned.
If you feel that my comments are offtopic (despite my attempts to explain why they're directly ontopic) feel free to take whatever action you deem necessary as I respect you and the job you do here.
