Even if a situation has a vocal minority, it should still be considered if their opinions are valid.
This is right, but there is a reason why the term "vocal minority" in gaming exists. Some people just behave the elitist way, and try to badmouth or silence to death the opinions of others who are not pert of "their" niche.
What I mean is this . If everyone would behave in a civil way, then things would be better. But some try to dominate.
Some of the worse examples for that are so-called "closed circle discussions", which feel like "forums PvP". In these discussion, it is no more important to exchange opinions. No, in these discussions the only "goal" the participants have is, to dominate everyone else by pushing the own opinion through. This can result (and often does) in a discussion between two or three, maybe four elitists, who are forcefully ignoring everyone else who posts something in that discussion. You can very clearly see that it is a "closed circle discussion" by these few participants only quoting thmselves; and never ever someone from the outside, never ever someone whom they believe not to be "part of the discussion", read : Part of the closed circle.
