Excellent description of most of us avid posters in this newsgroup. Humans are funny like that, we take things too personally, and identify with products. I get so sick of hearing "GPL is the best" that I almost despise a game that I used to greatly enjoy. Now I find myself nitpicking over its shortcomings because some people have put it on a pedestle. people in the Sony,Sega,and Nintendo newsgroups each despise and put down the rival systems, even though they are all excellent and worth buying. Hardware and software makers must love our affinity for identifying with a product. Customer loyalty means bucks.

I seem to have this really weird personal problem that arises when interacting with others on this news group. I find that if someone else likes a certain game or simulation and I don't, I feel like I have been attacked on a personal level. I then get really angry and feel this need to lash out at the person who has different likes than my own. First, I call them stupid for having a different idea than mine, then I refer to other posts I have made showing that I am right and that my view is the only valid one. After that I will wait for their reply, take that as another personal attack, tell them to f#@k off and start another thread, again defending my same position, only this time with a different subject header. The same as%hol# replies and this time I am even angrier because I realize there might be a different way to look at the racing sim world and that my way might be wrong. I will have none of that and I begin to spew profanities thinking, "That will show them that I have the only correct view of this racing game crap." Then someone will have the nerve to call it a SIM not a game and then, "Oh I HAVE to reply to this jerk," who knows nothing, that it is indeed a game, and if this fool weren't such an idiot they would see how stupid they, and all their GPL centric, loser, POS, a-hole buddies truly are. By this time I am banging my fists on my keyboard, frothing at the mouth, checking the board every 20 seconds just waiting for the first fool to post a reply that is different than mine in even the smallest way, then I attack again. I pick apart their post like a surgeon. Mis-spell a word and BAM, you're mime. I live for another day, cruising every post for differing points of view as if they pose a real threat to my very existence. Ah yes, GPL is the ONLY game worth playing, death to anyone who thinks differently, life is good, and hey maybe it's not a problem after all.
