A while ago when I contributed to the wikipedia page for Java, I saw that there were quite a few troll edits in the history for that page. I also checked the C# page's history, and it seemed that it had less troll edits. Last evening I had 30 mins to spare, so I did a very unscientific investigation to see which faction that had entered the most troll comments into the other factions wikipedia page. This is what I found out.

Am I the only one who pictures this troll war along the same lines as the California cheese vs Wisconsin cheese commercials?
Disregarding that they are both cheese, they try saying wisconsin cheese is made from good milk, while california cheese is from happy cows, when in reality they both suck because neither is actually cheese, but pre-processed goo extruded into a cheese-like form.
I prefer my Cheddar FROM Cheddar, not preprocessed.
Now replace cheese references with programming languages.
In all seriousness, Java and C# both have their places, each has a niche that it fits in very well, and arguing over that is like of like arguing which pepper is hotter, habanero or naga chili, when in reality it doesn't matter since both are so hot you honestly couldn't tell the difference between them in a blind taste test.
Do the constant food references sound like a subconcious need for food? Maybe I should stop skipping lunch at work.
