         Only for those who don't like to challenge their own opinions.  A   
   fact is something to look up, an opinion is an individual point of view   
   which can be based on fact and observation but is not necessarily so.   
   It is a fact that the game lists in that section of the site were   
   compiled in polls and from gamefaqs review comments.  Similarly, the   
   Console History page lists facts about the systems (hence the   
   citations).  An opinion based on those fact would be something to the   
   effect of one company "seems better" than another.  An opinion about a   
   game is that it is or is not fun.  A fact about a game is that it plays   
   with certain gameplay mechanics, has graphics of comparable quality and   
   detail to other games, etc.  Claiming that gameplay mechanics are an   
   opinion, or that a game on a list is by default based on an opinion,   
   does nothing but attempt to discourage conversation.  I think that I   
   have more than proven that I am willing to discuss any aspect of the   
   site in a civil and reasonable manner and I do not appreciate being   
   contradicted out of hand.
