Has anyone else noticed that virtually every single post defending Gamespot or it's staff is getting negative ratings? In addition to that any posts that vilify GS or CNET, or perpetuate certain conspiracies are getting ratings through the roof; I just don't understand what is going on around here...
You have to be logged in to rate a comment, so that means that hordes of actual GS users are going around slamming anyone that isn't standing in the lemming line waiting to walk off the cliff with them.
I noticed it first on my own posts of course, but then to be sure it wasn't just me rubbing people the wrong way I started looking around at other people's comments, and sure enough, anyone that doesn't take the word of a silly comic strip over the GS staff is getting the big thumbs down from droves of other users.
I realize this has been a pretty polarizing issue, but if these people so vehemently believe that this site has lost its integrity why are they still being such active participants in the community?
Maybe it's just my age, but I do not understand this behaviour... Someone please explain this to me.
On a side note to the Mods, if you feel that this should have been posted into one of the Gertmann threads I do apologize, but regardless of my opinions on the subject that may have trickled through here, I do believe this is a separate issue worthy of conversation.
