You can't arbitrarily decide exactly what type of conversation you'd like to have in a perfect world on a discussion forum. If something on the Wii merits the system or its games getting called out on their problems, it's going to happen.
You responding to every little quip like a girl who had her candy stolen certainly isn't going to make Joust stop counterpointing you.
I don't blindly support Nintendo or run damage control; I made the argument that the Wii will be a huge commercial success and sourced that argument with as many facts and pieces of evidence as possible in the interests of having an educated discussion. I've always been very clear that I don't see the Wii as my primary gaming system; the 360 will serve that purpose.
I've bitched about the cost of the VC games, the cost of the accessories, the lack of bundled component cables, and the lack of online play. I've yet to hear you or any of the other 360 fanboys say an unkind word about the new Xbox, which as I said will be mine in less than 3 weeks along with Gears of War.
