Pineapple said: The technology definition is also one of time. It's one of when the technology was available, rather than the release date of the machine. A couple of years back, there were a fair bit of people on VGChartz stating that the DS was a 5th generation machine, while the PsP is a 6th generation machine. Those people (at least most of them) were not trolling, they genuinely felt that was the best way of defining generations. I don't agree with them, but those people are just wrong (or, well, have a slightly strange definition), and that doesn't make them trolls. Calling them trolls is just as wrong a use of the word as defining generations by technology is. Probably worse. |
I doubt that any of those people were Nintendo fans, so there was most certainly an agenda involved. If you don't like them being called trolls, then make a suggestion what they should be called. Enemies, perhaps? Can't go wrong with that one.

Well, how about calling them wrong. That's all we really know that they are. Assuming the worst from people only leads to insults and misunderstandings. Calling people trolls all the time only causes problems and makes the world a less lovely place.
