IMO, a lot of the commentary is not serious. Of course, people outside the scene probably wouldn't realize that, making them believe this is what the BB community truly is.
At least here in Toronto, a lot of us appear to hate on BB (and GG) all the time, but we really like these games. There's just a bit of bullshit that needs to be fixed.
Edit: Yo gtfo Linear, Toronto doesn't need a troll like you >_<
