This whole fanboy vs system phenomenon is like how some girls act in middle school and high school. Always whining about superficial things that really don't matter in the real grown up world, making everything a competition with other females, feeding divisive hate within themselves and others in the group and overcompensating for their own insecurities.

Let's not talk about the positives from each respective system and gaming in general but let's be like what the mainstream news, journalists and critics have conditioned us to be over time: overly critical focusing solely on the negative playground taunters in a pissing contest.

But then again, it could be further proof of the rise of gender switching behavior occurring on a biochemical and physiological level from all the chemicals and hormones ingested by the body through whatever means. Don't forget the slim jeans, eyebrow plucking and obsession with looks. Superficiality, like this phenomenon that creates division from surface differences instead of core similarities.

Mindless circle jerking from supposed "gamers" who spend more time typing and fighting about gaming than actually gaming itself. Probably brings out the social outcasts, attention seekers and people who don't even game at all but use this "war" as a medium in attempts to get that attention. Know who you're getting it from at the end of the day? People just like you, reinforcing each other through anonymous propagation. Are you that easily corrupted by the rotten apples or what?

So seriously, stop acting like those group of girls stuck in that childish phase. Or don't. Only ones you punish is yourself while people who know better just laugh and brush you off completely because they've long moved on but suddenly remember exactly what phase it is from their younger days, or worse, from recognizing it in their own children and their friends.

I had somewhat of a long comment that kept showing up as pending even though I used no foul language or offensive words. After waiting for at least 2 hours and not seeing any resolution, I started doing a trial and error by immediately deleting the comment to see what would go through. I broke the comment down into alternating groups of paragraphs and found out that a certain number of "?" and "!" were triggering it. I removed a few (some had two "!!") and that worked. However, when I would paste it along with the whole comment, it would get "pending" again. So I had to resort to breaking it down into 3 parts and it all went through.

Don't know the criteria here exactly but it was a frustrating experience and it's probably one reason why you see no meaningful discussions taking place. Maybe that's the point, to keep the comments short and carry on the discussions to the forums but then they loose the immediate relevance a passing reader would have by having it right under the article itself. Maybe have a direct link to its respective forum thread for longer discussion purposes at the end of an article?
