I would not be surprised if these very same people are just as intolerant in real life, unfortunately. I appreciate and accept it totally when people say that their glass is half full so why can't I get the same respect back with my opinions?

As soon as someone expresses themselves with an opinion or a critique that differs from the "blind deaf and mute" one of the "terriers of intolerance" comes rushing along tearing the discussion apart. It's not about being a fanboy or not, it's about respecting each others opinions/thoughts no matter how much they differ from your own. If you know who said the following then you might know what I'm talking about:

"I disagree strongly with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

But of course you can say what you want, it is the way you say it thats wrong!

Just here, in the quoted post, you are again very free with slights against the so called fanboys.

And no, not everybody in this forum is a fanboy or even a fan of CoD, everybody is interested in CoD, thats the only common ground.

Imo, a fan or fanboy supports his object of interest by praising it but also pointing out flaws to the devs.

That is the difference, there are some people here more interested to point out the flaws to the world in general and this forum in special.

The flaws are posted again and again, played like a ball from one likely minded poster to the other, fulfilling no other interest than to add to the post-count and to appear interesting.

That is the stuff i, and many others, are resenting.

To implement the fanboys were deaf, blind and mute toward CoD's flaws is a slight, as the name calling "terriers of intolerance" is.

Your opinions and thoughts are respected, though not the way you post them.
