C-blogs during/right after E3 have been pretty flammable. I think I see what you're getting at, in general.
Not that it affects much, but I'm ready for a new Monthly Musing and some fresh new thinking blogs.

[size=50SHUT THE FUCK UP! PS3 IS BETTER! MOUNTAIN DEW IS THE GREATEST SOFT DRINK EVER MADE![/size]
Sorry, couldn't resist. But I know exactly how you feel. Whatever happened to understanding?

There we go. You already got the joke I'm sure, I just wanted to see it work.

Mountain SPEW is so not the greatest DRANK!!
Everyone knows Gatorade is the juice of hardcore soda drinkers.
Fanboy.

This kinda shit doesn't usually bother me at all. It just when I read 4, 5, 6 blogs in a row, all with everyone going after each other nuts, it kinda makes me feel angry. I don't like feeling angry.
That's why I choose to write this, rather than feed some idiots conflict addiction.

I'm sorry, but anyone that doesn't recognize Cherry Coke as the superior beverage is a fucking moron.
Have you ever thought that perhaps you should just ignore those people and their posts, and instead just concentrate on those people who aren't fanboys?
Pretty hard to ignore billions of posts by infinte amounts of cunts (I'm exaggerating...slightly)
I usually do, this is my point. It just got to me in a moment of weakness. I'm fine now tho. Everyone can go on with their lives...as cunts.

I [think] that only one of my c-blog posts was flammable but thats because E3 was a disaster and I fucking hated it.
Pretty much the only thing that I cared about hearing was Little Big Planet....everything else just moved me to a overwhelming "meh".

Basically, Destructoid is popular. That means more people are here now, which, believe it or not, generally tends to bring down the collective IQ and, it has been shown, a mob is usually dumber together than each would be individually.
There is also the problem that societies tend to fall apart once they reach a certain threshold. This threshold, in Meat Space or the "real world" is usually when there are too many people for them to be individually accountable to each individual for any errors or transgressions. As soon as it's possible to blend in and go unnoticed, shit starts happening.
So, lots of theories on why society goes to shit. The bottom line is: too many people, IQ drops, people aren't accountable = annoyance.

I just had to object to the fact that you listed Joe Rogan as your favorite writer in your sidebar thingy there.
Yeah, these back-and-forth fanboy arguments get old pretty quickly, and hopefully they'll die down after E3 stirred up so much shit. I've just been trying to avoid them entirely and divert my energy elsewhere so I don't contribute to the problem.
It's kinda like when people give one-line failblogs 87 comments and overlook many of the good ones. I try to pay attention to the good ones.

I remember the days when nothing but love was spread about these c-blogs
Really? Because puppet was around since day 1 of the cblogs.
But on a cereal note, the blogs did use to be more of a tight nit community. But Dtoid has exploded in popularity, and now there's too many people to keep track of. And since 90% of humanity needs to fucking die, there's quite a few idiots among us

to a certain extent, i also think that the fanboyism prevalent on the internet does actually reflect a situation with the consoles on the market at the moment.
basically we actually have 3 systems with massive strengths and weaknesses, in the same way that a stereotype contains some grain of personal experience, the rivalries are based on a certain amount of fact
For example, each console has unique strengths, the wii's innovative control system and AAA first party titles, the 360's online service and massive software library and the PS3s raw power and multimedia abilities couple with the wii's poor graphics/low storage, the 360's unreliability and technological inferiority to PS3 and the PS3's lack of quality titles and high cost.
Don't get me wrong, theres a hell of alot of bullshit fanboyism, but even though it's totally unreasonable to get that worked up over the consoles, there are actual facts around the situation on the ground that fuel this bullshit eternal game of rock-paper-scissors.

Then there was the "hazing" issue, which I think for better or worse, weeded out a lot jerks and decent folk alike. It still kind happens now, but there was a brutal welcome wagon before. Discouraged, both through jerkery and gentle nudgery, people that fell under the very generalized "suck" category.
Like that "Gentleman Gamer" guy. lolz.
