I don't think you're a troll exactly but I do have a feeling you don't care much about NaruSaku and mostly post in here to stir up the people who do or to share your own bad feelings.
I haven't once seen a positive post from you in regards to NS. Your posts largely consist of calling out others on their alleged hypocrisy or anything that involves Karin. While that isn't bad in and of itself, the fact that it's pretty much all you do is kind of annoying. I've seen other users reprimand hypocritical viewpoints yet still have constructive posts of their own that actually relate to the pairing. Your'e a mostly negative presence on this board in my view.
I get that some people aren't exactly thrilled with the way NS is going and/or the manga in general and I'm not about to tell them they're wrong for the way they feel, but why feel the need to come in here and attempt to bring others down with your pessimism? How about if you genuinely don't like the pairing or have nothing constructive to add to the discussion, consider refraining from posting here?
Sorry for the rant, I'm just kind of tired of seeing all the negativity on what is supposed to be a NaruSaku fansite.
You are right in a way. But not completely.
I care about Sakura's character more than I care about NaruSaku. Because I think some NaruSaku arguments make Sakura look bad (this is my opinion), I will be upset about them.
* "Sakura's feelings for Sasuke are shallow." or "Sakura worrying about Sasuke is stupid."
No matter what, Sasuke is a huge part of Sakura's character. But since her feelings are shalllow or fake or stupid, then she worked for shallow or fake or stupid feelings. She didn't learn her lesson after so many wake up calls, too. With Kakashi saying Sakura's kind, this has been shot, but I still see it a lot.
* "Yamato and Sai have noticed Sakura has forgotten about Sasuke and she has feelings for Naruto instead."
Sakura doesn't understand her feelings. Sakura is immature. But a stranger and someone who doesn't understand feelings can totally tell. Sakura is incompetent (if Sai can tell...).
* "Sakura and Karin are characters that are equals in power and in feelings."
This one upsets me a lot and yes, its the reason why I stopped being a lurker and started posting. Karin pulled a power out of... nowhere, while Sakura worked hard for three years. This is an insult to Sakura's character development. Sakura's crush on Sasuke was never as bad Karin's either (I want to lick him all over? Really?). Not even Hinata Naruto-kun Hyuga is this bad.
This one is controversial, but I'm going to say it, because I want you to understand I'm not dismissive, I want the best for Sakura.
* "Sakura should give up on Sasuke." and "Sasuke doesn't care about Sakura." This implies half of Sakura's character and struggle is completely useless. She worked hard to help save this boy, but it's meaningless because it's negative for her and worse, he doesn't recognize her efforts. Just last week some were thinking he was going to stab her to get to Madara. Really? She's not Karin and he's not a psycho anymore.
Does this make me negative about the pairing? I have no problem seeing the NaruSaku pairing outside of these scenarios, so I don't think it does.
My theory on the resolution is this: Sakura will love both by the end (she's not in love with Naruto yet but will be soon). In different ways even if they are both love, with Sasuke having some feelings for her too (or at least, implying he would accept a relationship with her). Sakura will decide between on equal grounds, with Naruto making her happy without effort and Sasuke being this unstable between good and bad. This is the adult decision, to want stability for a romantic relationship. Sakura will still help Sasuke, but as her friend, just like Naruto.
I also don't like what Naruto's character became. But that is hardly indicative that I don't like NaruSaku. Me being upset about the manga's direction lately has nothing to do with Sakura or NaruSaku. I stopped talking about it because people were butthurt about it when I mentioned it in the pairing thread.
