No, but dutifully taking the oposite side in every thread just to troll makes him one.
That may very well be true, but within the context of this particular thread, I've seen far more inflammatory posts from his opposition than from him.
When I do it, I do it to spark a debate. It doesn't necessarily mean that I stand behind what I say.Quote:

I didn't say you were a Nintendo fanboy. I said you "dutifully take the oposite side in every thread just to troll."Quote:

For instance: I happen to be partial to the Genesis for sheer nostalgia, but I happen to like all my systems. My NES collection is particularly awesome. And though I don't yet own a SNES, I can't wait till the day I get to own such a great system; as it's been a dream of mine since the 90s. In fact, I already have a starting library in mind.
As for "sparking a debate":
Sorry bud, but that's what the thread-starter is there for. What you're actually doing is attempting to "spark" an argument. Hence, trolling.
Trolls don't back up their arguments, I do. Besides, threads would be very boring if everybody would share the thread starter's opinion.
Playing devil's advocate is against the rules?
Of course liking the SNES is my choice, but why am I berated for having a different opinion than the majority?
In my experience most Sony loyalists are smugly secure in their exclusive products, kinda like Apple loyalists. Sony fanboys though, they truly believe that everything is better about their platform. Based on Sony's specs the simplest aspects of the technology are superior by leaps and bounds. The game libraries are nearly 100% perfect. No other platform or system has anything near as good available for it, and every other platform has worse graphics.Quote:

People get tired of such useless negativism after sometime as you can see...
Not since 1993.Quote:

Total horseshit, You always invoke the majority opinion when you believe it'll justify your flaming someone.Quote:

Trolling I don't care about, as there's always so much room for interpretation whether the accused troll actually believes what he posts or is only doing it for sensation; furthermore, he may simply have a hard time articulating, may have had a reference overlooked or misunderstood, or the blame may lie yet more squarely in the accuser's camp. Even when the trolling's clear, as anyone who cares to review or recall your posting history knows it is in your case, I don't care. However, you, Olls, are a forum bully. You do almost nothing but flame other members at every opportunity--those opportunities being whenever you feel an unpopular opinion can be attacked. You then quote some form of mass appeal, make a few "yeah right" arguments, and finally descend to calling your target a troll. And like all bullies you run from a fight: if anyone acts in kind you adopt a "why me?" attitude and urge a banning. As for why you yourself haven't been banned that may be because not everybody is going to run to the mods when you stir the pot, and you know how to walk the line: far more interesting and reasonable members such as Clessy, makingagenesis, Kogen, and even Shadowhawk have been banned for an overflow of direct obscenity, mixing it up with a member who would run to the mods (eddiespruce may also have reported Kogen on Tasuke's behalf), and making threats, which however empty and transitory cannot be ignored. You flame with varying degrees of subtlety, that's the only difference, except that those others also have a sense of humour, consistent or not.
So, since you have chosen to constantly pick fights with someone who's not going to report you, how about you own up and stop acting like such a wimp?
re Kogen = Kogen's little Nintendo bashing routine is no more inflammatory than an obnoxious signature, and equally as repetitive. Besides, most of the stuff he says is so wild it can't be taken seriously as either a flame or a troll. Nor does he insult other members (except Tasuke, who baited him) or create insulting threads such as "People who bid on ebay are morons".
