Give them a snickers bar? Explain people can have a different opinion without being stupid? Offer yoga classes or a cold beer? This is a tough one!

I'm very much in favour of this option...

The funny part being: You try to label others "trolls" because they have a different opinion than you and while making your "troll" accussations you're portraying your opinion as "facts" and commit one fallacy after another. ~shrug~

What do you expect?

When the forums are full of threads such as :

• "I can not hit Light 'Mechs! Nerf them!!"
  
• "I do not want to step behind cover!! Nerf LRMs instead!!!"
  
• "My PSR goes down when I am piloting Assault 'Mechs!!! They are not powerful enough!!!!!!!! Boost Assaults ASAP!!!!"
  
• "I was killed by enemy Piranha!!!! Nerf Piranhas and all other Lights!!!!!"
  
• "Machine Guns with range 130 metres are more powerful than Autocannons!!! Nerf MGs!!!!!!!!!!!"
  
• "The matchmaker targets me personally to keep me in T4/T5! Nerf the matchmaker so I can move to T1!!!!!!!!"
  
• "Light 'Mechs are OP, easy to play and autowin! Nerf them!!!!!!!!!" (This last one is even more ironic when you find out that those posters actually do not play Lights.)

It is only natural that people start to mock such threads eventually.

Opinions are always allowed, even if some of them are extremely stupid.
Stating those opinions from mildly stupid to extremely stupid as facts is something that will get you some backlash pretty damn quickly.

Like some players (who have played for a Year) lately are saying that some closed beta veterans who have been active players with thousands of matches in quickplay/FP/Comp who have seen whole history of this game and played on highest level there is.. are not understanding how game works or similar stuff.

Some peole could call that crazy.

edit: oh also..

You didn't get the memo? According to threads PIRs and Flease = the light mech class.

Come now, there was a forum post about how lights are OP because people use Firestarters in comp, clearly they're a light 'mech too.

Facts is not trolling.

Indeed but stating opinions that are not based on facts as facts is.
Light mechs are worst performing class in the game proven by stats, thus cannot be OP.

Sorry, my mistake. And especially when a comp player says it, it mus be true! So, I am proven double wrong, so to speak

you can be called a troll now for making sense. playing the victim card every time someone disagrees with you is not going to help the community in the slightest.

its a forum, if you post some outrageous claims, prepare to back up your position. debate is part of the forumwarrior game. if you cant handle constructive debate, that's a you problem.

Yeah. It's pretty sad, actually, because MWO offers 20 different light 'Mechs.
