Anyone as bent as you at demanding respect from anyone, let alone anonymous people over the net, has serious serious issues. How tall are you? Short man syndrome maybe? How much do you make? Small penis?
Seriously, we all know one of those people, always talking about how everyone needs to respect them for some unknown reason. They always turn out to be the biggest douche bags.
Sigh, as for the personal attacks... I'm quite tall, make plenty, and my wife is quite pleased - I appreciate the concern - way to stay on task. It's simply an issue of combating ignorance and bias on the forum - I just reached my breaking point.
It would seem that when the consensus of the conversation leaned away from the PS3, we started getting a lot of the fanboys rather militant - that needs to be avoided.
