Not only that, but if someone is going to spend their money on a product, the absolute least they should be able to do is voice their opinion on it regardless if it is for or against it. Going against that is much like trying to disregard review systems all together just because someone didn't like what you liked.
Because mods are human beings too and they all might, just maybe, have different personalities and likes 💡

Play the ⚽ not the man.
My status as a mod has nothing at all to do with it, but thank you anyway for so clearly illustrating the point.
I agree, that's why I said mostly, however, I still maintain that the concerns they have are from what they perceive to be real issues with the game. I see very little out and out hating of GTS. Unfortunately, as we have learned, there are some members who just don't want to hear anything negative even if those negatives are presented in the correct manner. And that is where the difference lies for me. You might disagree with someone's opinion but should never expect that opinion not to be voiced as long as it doesn't violate the AUP.
I don't see it as the sides being the issue, just sometimes specific people within it.
Where did I say people with certain opinions are more valid than others? I clearly said 'None of us should post our opinions expecting them not to be challenged, that's the whole point of debate after all, but we should expect that we can voice those opinions without others wanting to censor us.' That means all of us, no matter what opinion we hold, should expect that we can voice those opinions. The only mention of censorship was in relation to the revelation that a group of people had gone to the site owner asking that negative opinions not be allowed.
I don't care if you are not talking about censorship. I was and it was crucial to what I wrote.
Fanboy of what, exactly? Most the people I've seen in the negative side of things prefer racing games, not just one specific game. That doesn't even make sense as a description, and if you're basing it off specific people that follow and interact with these discussions I'd bet you'd be hard pressed to even point out which is which.
At no point did I mention the people discussing the positive stuff. That's where you have made your mistake, I compared people posting negative stuff in a slightly fanboyish way and people who had gone running to the site owner asking for negative opinions to be banned. And I argued that those are in no way comparable.
