Too much hate

I'm fairly new to these forums but have noticed a routine pattern. The moment someone complains or voices any dissatisfaction with the game then that person gets insulted and torn apart, why I ask? Then these same people get their threads locked over EA's terms of use. That's fair enough I guess, if it wasn't so double sided. The complainer (for lack of a better term) gets insulted, but that's alright it seems, but when the insults are returned, their thread gets locked. Double standards are never fun. This is a General Discussion forum for all users. If there can be good morning and good night threads, threads about making a certain amount of posts, then the hundreds of completely off topic threads about movies, games, weekend plans?, etc. Then why isn't it ok to voice an honest opinion that may get the game improved. Is there a special club here that requires so much time in or a certain number of posts you're supposed to make before you're respected or taken seriously? Or do you need to befriend the regulars before your views/opinions are respected? Bottom line, if you don't like/get along well with others, then stay off their threads and leave them alone. I've even gotten posts and PM's from some of the regulars about other users and to basically stay away from them and their posts. They have just as much entitlement here as the rest of us and you play The Fool when you resort to elementary school politics. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.

PS- There, their, they're have different uses. Also, your and you're, and to, too and two do too.

Ok, obviously your new like you said, but some forum regulars have been having constant issues with regular trolls. One in particular has nothing to contribute except complaining. Now I urge new members to have a look at this with open eyes. Some new members don't know the full story and are quick to jump to there own conclusion. Iam like this if I was a new member I would be like, look at these regulars having a go at this individual, obviously there is some prior disagreement iam unaware of. That IMO is how you have to look at these situations if you have no prior knowledge. I totally agree though, if you have an issue,by all means speak up and we would be more than glad to help, but if its just a rant and members are going to be hammered for there own opinion, then maybe this forum isn't for you.
