Can you seriously not see the absurdity in that? That's a major part of the problem (not to single you out) is that too many fans are looking to have their beliefs reinforced and disingenuously label everything else as trolling and uneducated/stupid posting.

You might have missed it but I very specifically posted that a thread like calgaryblood posted is fine because it’s was posted as a discussion and has some content other than “fire the coach, fire the gm”. His thread is to give heat to BT and he gave reasons so it’s not a troll thread, however the posts like “ GG is terrible” then nothing further is a troll post. I know you know this yet you picked and choose what I said to change the context. If you would have posted the whole sentence instead of leaving out the “posters that cannot backup anything they say and are posting only to start an Argument” it would have properly conveyed my message.
You also assumed I was saying anyone who thought the coaching staff wasn’t right was wrong yet absolutely nowhere did I say that. Again you picked and choose which changed the context. I said the posts were ridiculous and uneducated because they are as simple as “gg is a terrible coach” and that is all the poster decides to add to the conversation. That type of post leads me to believe that the poster is uneducated because he is unable to give a reason to his opinion because he is not well enough versed on the topic. Does anyone seriously have a conversation with a friend, family member or coworker and just say “no that’s wrong or this is my opinion” and the other party just responds with “ok” and no further discussion is had? Normally someone says “no that won’t work because........ and explains why there opinion or direction is valid. To me that’s what separates a troll post from a constructive post.
I’m not trying to start a fight here and I’m sorry if this came across like I’m attacking you it’s not my intention. I just want to be sure that I properly explain myself to prevent what I post to be taken out of context.
Edit: I could have been more clear in my original post so I can see where some of the confusion could come from.
