just in response to a few of the people getting riled up in defense of the gay community......the posts here have really been pretty tame.....and open disscusion can only be healthy in the long run. here's to tolerence and understanding.

well, if you put it that way........i get what your saying (my thoughts on it though are niether here nor there). i seemed to have mistaken you for one of the reactionry elements inhabiting the comments these days :( with your furthering of the points you made i see why you feel the way you do.
all the haters out there take note: if you want to be heard back your critisism's up with reason and maybe you'll be treated with a bit* of validation.
"You don't get stars unless you love all three systems? That's lunacy. They only thing worse than a fanboy is a bunch of elitist pricks who think that if you don't like a system then you are automatically a fanboy for their opponent."
-------------------------------------------------------- edmund, there is a distinct difference between system bashing and controlled discussion.you can be as critical as you want in regards to all systems, what joystiq's trying to say is : at least make it somewhat constructive and keep the language reasonable....but i prefere the term......... not acting like child.
"Impartiality: A commenter who consistently......"
hmmm.......what if you hate all the systems, i mean if people who like all three are rewarded when it comes to thiere comments "sounding" then surely people who hate all three shouldnt be punished as flamers......apart from that i agree that people who make comments as a means to put forward argumentitive and nonsensical statements for the sake of it should lose stars. add to that recent ann.........etc. etc. etc.
i wanna comment on all the hate comments on some of the other posts. i consider myself a ninty fanboy and true enough i do sense a slight degree over sceptism in the posts in question,but, some of the vitriol being aimed at james and joystiq in general is utterly uncalled for.it is rather pathetic to degrade and dismiss all the hard work the joystiq staff do on our behalf due to certain parties getting worked up over another person's opinion. so what if james overlays his blogs with his point of view, its his right and (in my opinion)his duty to do so. nintendo wants to change the industry so that individuality (in game concepts) and not flashy visuals (and no gameplay) are king. james's blogging is individual its not flashy, its honesty. so the question is: how can you not respect james's blogging (even if you dont like it) and then claim to understand and "defend" nintendo?
