So, I am noticing a lot of PS3 fans creating *360* threads that are little more than veiled attempts to bash the 360 and praise the PS3.

Correct me if I am wrong, close the thread if you feel like it's flaming, but this is an honest concern for some VG Chartz users.

Discuss.

Lol. What you are referring to is the 360 fan special. Starcraft, Squillam, Zen, - All specialize in these threads.

Correct me if I am wrong, but is this not stealth trolling against the PS3 and its fans?

Is it just me or are people getting more and more paranoid everyday about trolling. It's almost kind of funny because they are finding new ways to troll and then the blunt of it use it as a way to assert their own biases by calling it trolling against it. One large ball of self-interest and personal agenda. Just like American politics eh.

How so? Why are pro-Sony and PS3 fans asking 360 questions, especially when they have no plans to ever purchase a 360 - and it's not news related, so what is it, other than trolling?

No, why should I or other be paranoid? I work in words all day - and understand their power. I could see if someone was posting news - good or bad - about the 360 - but when you have the horde asking 360 owners things like 'Why do you support this unreliable machine,' that's trolling, plain and clear. Even a student who failed reading comprehension could understand that.

If another person asked the same question in another forums - PS3 or Wii, they'd get banned for trolling and/or the thread closed.

When you say new...

This has been happening to all consoles since I've been on VGChartz.

Exactly!

I agree.. I mean look at the thread "Why do so many 360 fans defend Microsoft so much?" by MikeB, the guy that defends every decision Sony has ever made.
