Bless em! Mind you it wouldn't matter what make I had, I still am pretty rubbish at taking pictures!
Its all a bit of sillyness, although I have noticed that most of it on here (light hearted generally!) comes from the Nikon users!
But, the difference is motive.
Canon users sincerely believe they're destined to take over the world and are happy to shout it from the rooftops to every Nikon shooter who'll listen (and even some of those that won't).
Nikon users just think it's funny to wind up Canon users, and we really don't care what anybody shoots.

LOL Cyb
The OP thinks he has problems, I use a Fuji...
Perhaps it was a little too subtle. My whole comment about Nikon owners doing it purely to wind up Canon owners was purely to wind up Canon owners.
Although, I guess it works on Olympus owners too.
Nothin' wrong with Fujis, they take Nikon lenses.
Phew! You think you've got problems, I've just admitted on a gardening forum that I've bought a Mountfield lawnmower. You should have heard the Hayter boys - kept on about how their mowers have more horsepower and their blades are much sharper. That provoked an arguement with the traditionalists who fiercely maintain that their old-fashioned hand push Ransomes give an almost indefinable quality to the cut, which results in a better striped effect that is more pleasing to the eye.
A Qualcast user really wound up the Hayterites by claiming that although the centres of their lawns were O.K. the edges were badly defined. They hit back with claims that their L series blades were the sharpest on the market and that the grass boxes on the Qualcasts were too small. One guy with a Flymo tried to join the debate but they all laughed at him and said flymos were O.K. if you've just got a window box but real gardners would never use them.
I shut them all up when I posted some pictures of my lawn. They couldn't believe that you could get such an even cut from a rotary and one even remarked at how green my grass was. They were also gobsmacked by the straightness of my lines and were amazed that I'd cut it at midnight. One of the large format ride-on brigade claimed that his Honda had better low light performance because it produced less noise and got quite upset when he heard that I'd also cut my neighbour's lawn - apparently amateurs like me should stick to just mowing our own lawns for pleasure with our "toy" mowers and leave the paid jobs to the "real" gardeners like himself who had the professional equipment.
At that point I logged off and went out to cut my lawn for a while in the evening sunshine whilst I listened to the birds in the trees and watched the flowers gently waving in the breeze. To me, that's what gardening is all about - not what tools you use. I hate to think what they'll say on the forum when the find out I've bought a Spear and Jackson E-Series spade for my vegitable patch!
Because they generally respond to it in a fashion that makes me laugh.
See, now you're gettin' itAnd they are still darn good cameras despite this.
(Sorry, just entering into the spirit of it all

Depends how it's done.Isn't that called trolling?
Depends how it's done.
Exactly. Not just in photoghraphy, a lot of people just seem to feel the need to justify their gear purchases, and put down other peoples' equipment without having any knowledge of the equipment, the differences between them, or what may make one system better or more suited than another for a different task.
Sadly, many of them own Canons and Intel based Macs.
I wouldn't loose any sleep over it, your the one using the camera and if your comfortable with it and it does what you need then that's all that matters
