Note: Ok I forgive ya Calum, I'll see if I can rewrite what I can remember writing in general.
At MES, Trolls are to be expected. This is not just a Linux help site, this is fanatical anti-microsoft site that doubles as a Linux help site. So windoids come here. Than they see a "Microsoft is terrible, so terrible that all people who only hint at Microsoft being substandard are pussies who are afraid to tell it like it is" attitude. This tends to upset those who don't yet get it(or won't get it).
One of the reactions is to diss Linux and praise Windows.
Infighting and petty bickering? Flaming trolls/being flamed by random trolls is NOT INFIGHTING and NOT PETTY BICKERING. These terms only apply when respected, longtime members start having ideology conflicts and start fighting each other.
As for the trolls, I find them funny sometimes.
