What do you like or dislike about Neowin?

Dislike: The iron grip of the staff, and the way they through warnings around like candy, for anything and everything.

I must admit, I did laugh out loud at that comment. If you think the staff around here has an iron grip, I would not like to see how you would fare on this other board I frequent. :)

They're death to people who haven't read the rules and understood them completely. And I do mean _completely_.

Like: The people

Dislike: The people

Especially dislike people who place stereotypes on others that aren't justified. A good example is an American on this board being slammed for being an idiot, with comments like "lol Americans..." and typical anti-American comments. I mean, just because some individual from the UK makes an ass out of himself does not make give me the right for me to slam all people living in the UK. Honestly, I don't see how anyone can consider this sort of behavior acceptable.

That's one of the major concerns I have about this website, as I enjoy reading a lot of what others have to say here. Many intellectual people here, but it really sucks when you're made out to be an idiot or simply not welcome to the site because of where you live. :/

i forgot about that, i hate that more than the 6 month warning period.

i ****ing hate all those,"only in america" and all that jazz

Can't believe I missed this, too. The idea that people know your situation without being in it. People in other countries bashing the U.S. (I said some) without any understanding of why people in the U.S. feel like they do. Without being here, you don't appreciate the situation and you can't, in reality, understand.

The endless Microsoft >>>> Apple and likewise arguments are endless and brings out the monster in too many people.

Secondly, the grammar police around here need to retire. Especially when they can't grammatically correct it properly themselves.

And most of all.... anybody who calls other people "fanboys" need to get over themselves. Just because somebody favors one company (etc.) over another and backs up their reason doesn't mean they are a "fanboi(?)". It doesn't matter if they are over the top and think they are the only one that is right either. It still makes you look like a douchebag for the name calling.

I agree. I've been on other boards that had mods who were the kiss of death to even disagree with them in any shape, form or fashion and they ruled with a mighty iron rod. The mods here are pussycats in comparison. Comments like "Dislike: The iron grip of the staff, and the way they through warnings around like candy, for anything and everything." would have dealt with the ban hammer on many boards.

I don't complain about the mods because they're not heartless bitches who ban you no matter how contributing you are, or if you disagree with them any slightly way

    • Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.
    • It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
