So......
I used to post quite a lot here on GBATemp just a couple of years ago, and I like to think that I've been sometime helpful to newcomers in need, however I've been playing less and less lately, concentrating my ever shrinking gaming time on PC, therefore I barely post anymore.
However I've been lurking around here and NeoGaf just to " keep in the loop " and still keep informed on what's going on in the industry.
Last night I got fed up with NeoGaf because apparently, if you don't hate Trump and Trump supporters ( either of which I don't care about ) you are inherently evil and deserved to be banned !
Like on most gaming forums there is an OFF-Topic subforum on NeoGaf, which is constantly spammed by anti-Trump threads.
Fine, I never posted there, I don't care, I never revealed my political affiliation ( if any ) and so generally I just avoid the off-topic subforum since the stupidity and bias can sometime be overwhelming.
I stick to the "gaming news" forum.
So yesterday somebody posts http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1339269 about Insomniac Games releasing a video in protest of Trump's temporary immigration ban right there in the gaming forum.
I politely stated that such a discussion belongs to the off-topic section. No more, no less.
Needless to say, I've been immediately assaulted by several "members " till I decided to once again "politely " reply the following :
Then I started to wonder how long would it take for the moderators to ban me, and surely enough, as soon I refreshed the page, I got this :
Now, good riddance, I actually couldn't stand some of the whiners there anymore, however being BANNED just for this on a forum that prouds itself for being against oppression, Nazis, censorship and ( ironically ) a BAN on immigration to/from lands that I've never been in and I don't care for and what a President does in his country for which I have no rights to judge, is definitely unjust and highly hypocritical .
So, the hell with the hypocrites NeoGaf elites, I'm back here and I hope we can have some civil discussion in the future.
P.S. Sorry for the wall of text
