Today sees a new day for the maturity of the discussion forums, as I have started an orginisation to watch the topics and biasism (Is that a word?) of subjects.
The unbiased read everything association, or UREA for short, will read everything in the future of gaming forums that relate to Console wars, and if ANY part of the text is biased, it will be warned by UREA. No one must then take any notice of what this person has said.
Watch out, UREA is everywhere.

Ever heard of the Thought Police?

(Although I do agree that a lot of stuff posted is dross)

Grix, you have a good opportunity here to become the evil dictator of the forums. Start off doing "good" things at first, then gradually start to use the organisation to your own advantage. Within 6 months you could have total control over all forums, here's some ideas for you, Grix days where only you get to post messages and therefore are guaranteed of winning the prize, or how about Praise Grix days where everyone has to write something nice about you? Or you could start "asking" for "donations" from people to allow them to post. If you want some good reference points try the rise of the Empire in the Star Wars Books, or Animal Farm by George Orwell, and why stop at these forums, today Special Reserve, tomorrow the entire Internet......

On a more serious note, life would be very boring if nobody ever had any bias towards anything they were discussing. But I agree that some people go a LOT too far with it sometimes. But I'm still not joining UREA until I get a good character reference for you Grix ;-)

I might start GAPWPSSEFTM .....the Group Against People Who Put Stupid Smiley (Etc) Faces in Their Messages.

I am based on the almighty Grand Admrial Thrawn, from the Heir to the Empire books. Good enough character reference? Anyway, what was that about smiley faces, and I quote...

I am not saying stopping arguements anyway, I am just saying those who start, not add to a disscussion, should be ignored. Example:
The PS2 will whip Nintendos anus because they have better games.
Although this is very biased, it will not be stopped because it will start a good arguement. Whereas...
The Ps2 is loads better than the Nintendo because only childish w@nkers buy Pokemon to fuel Nintendos fire.
...is not entirely acceptable. Biasism and stupidness (once again... is that a word?) are two entirely different things.
So UREA will not be a dictatorship, ruled by me (he's on to me, my stormtroopers will fetch you), but just a cause to stop people from being iritated at the stupidity of the fanatics.
There we are, an advert for UREA. You know it makes some kind of sense, even if you don't understand...

I think this place needs an evil dictatorship to keep things under control. I'd gladly become a hitman to strike against enemies of our mighty leader Grix, after he's hacked everyone's addresses out of the system.
Oh, and great tyranical leader, can I have my own forum please?
