Reality has a Wii bias.
I own both; I liked my PS2 better than my GC, but at no time did I ever feel like my GC was a waste of money. Buying a PS3 was my third largest gaming mistake ever. #1 Buying the 360, despite RROD. #2 Trading my broken 360 in 2 days before they announced the warranty extention.
You are right though, trolls suck. Of course just because somebody disagrees with you doesn't mean they are a troll.
Trolling can be seen in threads where one member claims another is a fanboy:
"Fuck one cant start a pro ps3 thread with out wii fanboys derailing it fast"
Trolling is also where somebody goes into a thread and bashes a company:
"EA not ho out a game on every console... I find that hard to believe, its EA people come on."
Trolling can be seen going into a thread and accusing a source of being turned towards your system of choice:
"Its called supporting your products but i expect and already see people twisting it into anti PS3 fud.
If they pulled a MS and dropped all support i would have never again got any of their products."
Whether responding to flame bait or not flamers can be found all over the boards:
"Hes former ND person, nice spin with the thread title like always."
Bashing another consoles software lineup or features:
"... but even with a big software advantage you cant beat the PS3 and that advantage is quickly coming to an end."
"You got to PAY extra to play online, theres lag and if you don't have high speed internet you out of luck. Theres also quite the character limit comapred to other shooters. Quite good sure, but way to over state things."
Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.
To be fair I added some of my own border line posts:
Um, my Wii isn't dusty... My PS3 is.
Too bad for them that those 360/PS3 games are going to be up against a bunch of other high budget games with only a 20-22 million user base ('08)when you add them up, still less profit than making a good Wii game.
Despite my distaste for anything MS I still think that all three consoles will have sustainable numbers. All three may even turn a profit. (Fair, but still a tad negative.)
{joke} This just gets me more excited for DMC 5 on Wii {/Joke or is it...}
the lack of consumer HD awareness, the elitism of MS and Sony towards consumers, the high prices (compared to previous generation winners), etc., etc., etc... MS cutting into the Playstation Brand popularity and starting this wreckless money war has divided hardcore gamers and left the casual and core gamers to Nitnendo.
Of course I think I am pretty objective, after all my second biggest mistake was trading in my 360 despite it breaking and my calls to throw MS execs in jail.
