[QUOTE="Lwaxy, post: 5996276, member: 53286"] You'll be disappointed. The more common going online is, the more people tend to not put any more thought into their offhand comments online than they do offline. Just posting a line or two requires little thought. Users post what's in their mind the same way as they speak offline, probably even more so. And often, it's not like you go somewhere specifically as it is random surfing through forums/threads/whatever. If it's getting too heated, one can always ignore the thread, after all, or the poster never checks back to begin with. Any trouble resulting from such posts are usually not much felt by the poster but those interpreting the post and/or feeling upset by it. And the moderators, of course. Now if someone throws a long rant at you about edition X of any game, then they must have put some thought into it. I very much doubt that "Edition x is/isn't Y" is the result of an elaborate thought process though. [/QUOTE]
