"I do not expect you to say anything positive about my actions or thoughts since you seem to have a personal grudge towards me."
No. Nothing of the likes. I've already said I hoped you enjoyed your Xbox somewhere else. What I am replying to is the fact that you are thinking there are heat issues for the PS3. I am trying to convince you that there isn't enough to be constantly worried about. Particularly with the newer models, which you seem to know so why post that you are worried?

"You seem to have discovered in the course of the last hour that this is true of new Xbox 360s, not just PS3s." I am not saying with:
"when you bought the very specific console known worldwide for systematic hardware failures due to overheating."
that all Xbox 360s run hot. What I said was: the Xbox 360 is known worldwide for the RRoD, which is a systematic hardware failure due to overheating. That's what it is, it's fact. I never talked about new or old models there. I know that the new models don't have this issue as much, though they still have issues as illustrated by this poll (Which is most likely not representative.)

"Are you as unforgiving of your real-life friends' mistakes as you are to other mistakes made by humans you don't know personally?" I am unforgiving when faced with mis/disinformation, yes. I always say: if you don't know, don't talk. It's not 100% cut and dry of course, but the posts I've seen from you being constantly worried about the PS3 made me try to convince you that the situation is different. I don't know if it's personally that you thought it up, or if someone has been telling you this, but there isn't so much of a heat issue with the PS3 as there once was with the Xbox 360.
