It's definitely fun to poke at the people I play with, and while most know that it's all in good fun, I admittedly don't play with you, and either way, my endless search for the last line to cross may be a far shorter journey than some people can bear.

I know that gloating about the vast superiority of the PS4 can get tiresome, even for those who agree, and far be it for me to be a fanboy, so for the sanity of the folk around here, I suppose I can tone it down a notch or ten (YES Ten! Because we're REEEAAAAALLLY HUNGRY!)...

There is no need to be upset.

Korny, your posts as of late have been undeniably vitriolic toward Xbox owners for no apparent reason other than to rile up your fellow B.org community members, and the smartass "disclaimer" at the bottom of this post only serves to prove that you are willfully aware of this behavior. I appreciate the apology above, but posts like those called out in this thread are not humorous, there is nothing constructive about them, and they only serve to drive people away from the DBO community. That is something I cannot abide.

Next time you feel the urge to "twist the knife," let's take a moment to breathe and ask if it helps the community, or if perhaps "less is more."

And everyone else, we can take the high road and let things roll off our backs rather than spend the energy to call out trolling.

We're all Destiny fans here, let's celebrate that. An entire half of our family is about to play Destiny for the first time and that's an awesome thing. I say we stand together, lest the Darkness consume us. :)

It quit being funny a couple of weeks ago. Besides, the cool kids have been having a lot of fun without him. They may have even seen some cool stuff way before he even knew about it....

I guess the question is, would you rather have a site where admins constantly come down on people for sins real and imagined, or a site that is more subtly guided and self-policing. Easy choice for me.

Heh, I was JUST typing up a post and saw your response when I hit Preview. It was going along these lines:

The general B.org policy has always been to treat everyone as an adult, respect each other's opinions even (especially?) when they may not align with your own, and to let disagreements sort themselves out. On the whole, this community does a rather remarkable job of that, so much so that we almost never have to moderate these boards, and that's wonderful.

I wish there were. It would be awesome. Most of my freinds are playing on the One, so I won't be able to play with them. Am the sad.

Get better friends. People who bought the Xbox One are not people that you need in your life. Nature has taught us that if you cling to the back of the herd, you will not survive.

There is a better way. There are better friends. Greatness awaits.

Hue.

*I'd like to apologize to anyone who finds this disrespectful. I would never wish to offend anyone in this community.

Now I see why people have been calling you a troll. You know the disclaimer only makes it worse, right? Ah who am I kidding, you probably intended it that way.

Korny doesn't even get a slap on the wrist for this this behavior. Apparently constant, deliberate disrepect towards this community and its members is totally okay.

Heck, he even got frontpaged for one of those.

Korny is a human in name only. He is mostly troll now. The best thing you an do is ignore him. I mean I can't tell if he's trying to sell us on the PS4 or justify his own purchase to himself anymore. You're giving him his smug power. Stop it.

I don't understand why this is tolerated here, at all. And then other community members chime in like it's pointless to address. It shouldn't be ignored, it shouldn't be allowed, it shouldn't happen, period.

I agree that Korny is a troll, but that first post was just strong opinion save for the gratuitous diaper comment, about which much was unhelpfully made after the fact. You may not have noticed, but the troll-like nature of the second post was called out by the Man himself, in addition to getting front page attention for its positive aspects. Korny bugs me and when he claims alignment with me it's enough to make me second-guess myself. On the other hand, when an innocent positive post about the PS4 is misinterpreted as deliberately disrespectful, it makes me glad I'm not an admin if it means I'm supposed to be the arbiter of who meant what.

I guess the question is, would you rather have a site where admins constantly come down on people for sins real and imagined, or a site that is more subtly guided and self-policing. Easy choice for me.

The push back against the Xbox butthurt push back was a thing, though--so much "well duh" from the unaffected people, and I don't think it's a stretch to see how that came across to those affected. But that is a completely different topic and one that I think has been completely exhausted and satisfied, especially regarding that specific post.

Your question is a false dilemma, but I know what you're saying.

That said, I'm not sure the difference between PS4 and Xbox 360 could be so big as to represent a substantial competitive advantage, either.

FWIW, this thread is talking about cross-GEN play. As in XBox 360 vs. Xbox One, or PS3 vs. PS4. Not PS4 vs. Xbox One.

I appreciate that, which is why I compared PS4 (the notional ‘best’ performing console) and Xbox 360 (the notional ‘worst’, although giving it more thought maybe that award ought to go to the PS3?). My point being: the difference in resolution is unlikely to be much greater than the difference between 720p and 1080p.
