Maybe if there was some sexy grunting from female athletes, I'd find it more interesting, but instead I'm stuck watching McMasters vs. Valliance...
Yep... Because pointing it out does nothing productive. It derails interesting threads. It's there, it's always been there, and while you tend to focus on the Xbox fans who are acting hypocritical, you're own bias is preventing you from pointing out the OBVIOUS hypocrisy from your own kind... And that's what makes your quest to point out hypocrites even more meaningless, and frankly just distracting.
And this doesn't help. As long as it's "your kind" vs. "our kind" then you're not judging the person or argument based on individual merit but by the flag they're waving.
You're probably right, I should have worded that better - but the point I don't want missed is that there are zealots/fanboys on both sides, hypocrites on both sides, and bottom line - ALL of us have some bias or another... And trying to call out others feels an awful lot like pointing out the speck in your neighbors eye, rather than dealing with the log in your own...
That's the point. Calling others out for their hypocrisy does little but derail a thread, because if it's true, so what? And if it's false, then it's even worse... But in both cases, there's nothing of value or importance in doing so.
I don't care much for argumentum ad hominum. Don't attack the people, attack the argument.
Not everyone is biased Flynn. Repeating it over and over again doesn't make it true.
That I actually disagree with. We all do have our internal biases - the question is whether we acknowledge them and strive for honest and truthful discussion or whether we just seek to broadcast our bias as if it were truth. For the most part, most posters here fall into the former category - they'll of course have what they say tinted by their preference but it's not Puppet/Neo stuff where the you'll get people arguing that the sky is green or magenta based on calling all non-believers wrong and therefore asserting they're right.

Yes it matters
Who are these people that said it mattered then but not now?
I already said I wasn't going to waste my time hunting those old threads down.
I wouldn't expect you to either, but when you claim across multiple threads that there are many posters saying the comparisons don't matter now, I'd expect you to be able to name at least some of them.
It's almost like you made that wee argument up in your head(then claimed the site was full of hypocrites and liars)
Their word was solid for years when they were always in 360's favor.
