When it comes to video game message boards, this holds true for most cases.

Whats important is the person in real life and their fanboy tendencies are purely on a internet basis. In the real world, they may think like a fanboy, but they must never speak of it.

You can be making lots of money, have a house, serious girlfriend, brand new car, etc........how could you be looked down upon (or at least feel insecure) if you let your fanboy flag fly on the computer a bit?

Now on the other hand, if you have a medial job, are socially awkward, and live in a basement, and your a frequent fanboy on the computer, then you gots issues.

someone acting like an idiot living in a basement or owning a whole skyscraper only for himself doesn't change anything. if you do something it is the same for everyone, if a rich is doing something stupid doesn't make the situation better and if you act like a fool on the internet as bill gates or the guy under the bridge, you both have the same weak mind if it comes to this specific situation.

I dunno. You should see the gamers who only play the yearly installment hits that sell big in real life. Where they live they are totally one tracked, only own multiplats and still manage to take sides.

They way I see it, real life matters most. Internet allows for anonimity and thus there is some wiggle room to let your true opinions on things show. As long as it doesnt negatively impact an otherwise productive life, then alls good. If your productive and successful in the real world, then you dont have a weak mind. If anything, you learn to supress it when your off the forum.
