I have however noticed sadly that the term Fanboy is often applied to members that are not. Sure some members are fans or have a bias, but those members actually discuss the issues in a rational logical way. They comprehend the difference between reality, theory, and conjecture. They are willing to do the research. Use the numbers, or provide insightful links to uncommon knowledge. Frankly they can be as biased as they want as long as they are backing up their arguments. A Fanboy on the other hand fights their private little war through faith and veiled insults. Show them some numbers, and they will scream in rage. Try to disprove them even though they have no clue what they mean. Except that they come from Satan. Provide a link, and they will argue that a industry professional is actually a agent of the enemy, or more laughable just plain stupid. I could care less if every vacant Fanboy on these forums got a boot shoved right up their ass. Why don't they just go to a fanboy forum somewhere. You know away from the insightful people they often run into on these forums. Who you know don't understand that a piece of plastic, and some circuit boards isn't the second coming of Jesus Christ. |
I don't often read your posts Dodece, i find them a little long at times but i agree with you wholeheartedly here.
For example claiming the PS3 will catch the Wii in Japan within a year is not at all offensive to me, but it's an offense to common sense, gaming trends and mathematics. It's fine to love your system but all the PS3 Slim has on it's side at the moment is potential, the numbers are very clearly stacked against it.
All it takes is one thread like that and the "PS3 slim will......." threads all start to look the same. Created with so little thought and so little concern for logic that it starts to become a little infuriating.
