First – see topic “trophy whores”. Large discussion about exactly this in there.
Second – see people who have a family. Most people don't care to set up alternate sign on names for their PS3 – its uneccessary. So… you have a little kid who plays on your account, and those games may be Hannah Montana (since thats the go to game for a lame platinum), or Up, or other such games. Nothing wrong with that.
Third – Actual trophy whores, or whatever you would like to call them. I can't hold anything against them, even if they do brag about their trophy rank. Why? Well… your bragging about a TROPHY RANK. What the hell do I care? On top of that, they're wasting their time playing a game just for the achievements. If you play a game for any reason other than fun, your wasting your own time, and thats you being a dumbass. I can only laugh at that.
Fourth – While a leaderboard would be nice, I don't ever see a respect system coming. Frankly, we're running pretty late on getting a leaderboard, and I'm wondering if that will ever show up. Also, the supposed grievance system hasn't shown face yet, and thats just respect for players, not trophies, and that'd be based on actions and communication rather than an arbitrary list of game achievements, which makes a buttload more sense.
So – do I lose respect for someone on the internet because they have easy platinums? Hell no. Not unless they're bragging about their so called “achievements”. And in that case, I not only lose respect but put them in their place by explaining to them in simple words why they are a loser. Outside of that situation I could care less. However, do I lose respect for my real life friends based on their trophies? Well, if I see Hannah Montana on my best friend's trophy list, knowing that hes single with no kids, yes, absolutely, and I will make fun of him and call him gay for that for years to come. Muahahahahahaha….
