| TheCompletist said: This is what we've come to, that when a thread doesn't descend into fanboyism, it descends into accusations of fanboyism:( Personally, I was interested by the point that the OP made. Do I think it's hugely significant? No, but then nothing we do on a site like this is that significant. Just interesting. But it's really starting to aggravate me the way every point that gets made, by anyone, that favours one console over another, no matter how slightly, or how valid the point, gets shouted down as fanboyism. That kind of off-hand dismissal is as blind, and as stupid, as fanboyism itself. |
What we have on this site are a few individuals that give blind loyalty to one particular format and are willing to repeatedly and exclusively employ either illogical or obscure arguments to that end. Check out LOL MATURE's posting on this thread for a case in point:

I believe in giving praise when it's due but, by the same token, I also feel it's equally appropriate to criticise when deserved; especially when a particularly pedantic or obscure argument is being made without some humour being employed to at least make it more palatable.
