Yes, it is true that focusing only on a character's worst moments can make them seem to be outright villains, but what about when those moments are very numerous. While I do think Patrick is a villain at this point, the early seasons portrayed him positively (usually) and him being antagonistic was cleverly used as part of the plot (again, not always, but usually). Regarding Sheldon, his Aesops tend to zig-zag depending on what the writers want to make the episode about. Did you look at Sheldon's page before it was taken down? Look at the crimes he committed (or attempted to), look at the times he was the outright main antagonist of the episode, etc. These are not isolated incidents, they happen a lot. Sheldon's negative traits do define him. They do comprise a significant amount of his time and actions: either his pettiness is the direct cause of the episode's conflict, or he somehow escalates it, unintentionally or otherwise.
