I'm not too familiar with the rules here. Are you allowed to refer to yourself as a fanboy?
If not, then historically I've just very, very, very much appreciated Nintendo's products at the expense of nearly every other company's.
Is that allowed? Or do you have to pretend that you have some sort of appreciation for things which, actually, you don't appreciate one bit?
Furthermore, if you are allowed to refer to yourself as a fanboy (which I am not sure you are allowed to do), then if you say, "I am a ___ fanboy" can others agree with you and say, "yes, certainly, you are a ___ fanboy"? Or is that still breaking the rule?

You're a fanboy.
It's a ok in this circumstance but it's safer to just never use it. I however live on the edge.

REPORTED.
Nah I'm just kidding. I appreciate your sense of adventure.
OP: Probably people should refrain from throwing around buzzwords like "biased", "fanboy", "bigoted", etc. when having a formal argument. Of course, having a proper argument is difficult and it's often much easier to simply insult the person you're arguing with.

Honestly, the word "biased" IS the formal word to use. "Bigoted," on the other hand, I can see as being one you can get banned for. See, even if you use a neutral word with a negative tone, the thing is that you'll have to use words worse than "biased" to make the word "biased" itself become anywhere near the equivalent of "fanboy."
