I've been on gamespot forums for a long time and I plan to continue to be on these forums for a long time but never have I seen such ignorance and hatred towards the fellow users for stating what they believe, what they think and even for disagreeing and agreeing. Over the years I've seen many great users banned for unjust reasons because of opinion, hell i've had a permanent suspension myself for something I didn't even do which I eventually got reinstated for after many emails. However this post isn't about the Mods being to harsh, I respect them and we all make mistakes but I see so many ignorant users attacking people for stating a simple opinion. Why can't opinion be accepted instead of rejected? If one person doesn't like something that you like how does it give you the right to be rude? How does it give you the right to tell them they are wrong? How are they wrong if they don't like something like a console, game, band, movie that you liked? Not everybody is the same so why should users be offensive to other users for being different? Isn't it difference which makes every individual unique?

I am so tired of coming to these forums to click on a post where somebody is asking a simple question or stating a opinion and being attacked for it. What has happened to the sense of respect? Is it because we are all hiding behind monitors that we feel like we can say anything without consequence? Respect opinion dont hate it, be nice to the fellow user and it will be returned in double and when a user asks a question don't flame on him for it point him to the right direction if you can't answer it. We are all a community and we all interact daily, who wants a community of trashy users not accepting opinions and flaming?
