Dude you do realize you have over 3,500 posts right? We have lives and are not about to go through them all looking for examples of your fanboyism, take Gebx as an example i used to think he was a massive 360 fanboy but once he realized that the 360 has its problems and stopped defending it blindly he was ok. Even though he still regards me as an irrational annoyance i can't call him a fanboy anymore...


Forget examples, your yet to find a SINGLE example. If my so called fanboyism was as abundant as you said, you wouldn't have to go far back through my post history to find an example.

Did you even read my last post? The primary reason people count you as part of the SDF (make no mistake, this small group of Sony fanboys are considered as irrational as the old leo-j and Hus), is because of your continued, unwarranted and unsubstantiated attacks on me. Not on my arguments, on ME.


 In the Scientology thread you were making some sense and people there were actually having what i thought were some good debates with you, the reason you are a fanboy is because you are an MS apologist.  Everytime they screw up or screw there customers you defend them.  Like the RROD issue i remember you would claim the new ones don't have the problems but even falcons fry out though not as bad as the 33% failure rate of the old 360's.  I don't see you as a fanboy for attacking other systems like the other people seem to.  I see you as a fanboy for blindly defending MS.  You make arguments such as RROD is not that bad since MS replaces them.... that is a stupid argument since it is that BAD and ms SHOULD replace them.  Just because they replace them doesn't make it better.  That's like me punching you in the face and then giving you an ice packing and saying "hey i gave you anice pack so it is all better"....

and yes, the constant whinning for so-called "proof" isn't exactly helping. We all know that if we do, you will go on a huge rant about it was somehow provoked by other people and it will never end.

I think the fact more than a few people accusing you of something completely baseless is really possible???

I don't have the time to read all your post in your history (heck, i don't read your post much at all), but next time you do, and I have no doubt you will, I will let you know

Provoked? Kind of like if I were to go into an off-topics thread and start calling you a fanboy behind your back, knowing that you wouldn't find out about it unless someone halfway reasonable like Duderino messaged me about it?

Stop acting like this "more than a few people" is always a different group of people. The list consists of you, BCNR, Auron, Username, CaptainPreferences and three others that I wont mention as they are not in this thread. Its never other people (except for your token fanboys that sign up just to bash someone that supports the Xbox 360's right to exist), its just your little group of henchmen having a go at me. If you guys devoted a fraction of the time you spend attacking me unreasonably to searching my post history, you would have come to the crushing realization that I'm not a fanboy by now.

 


woah woah... what are you, going to cry now? This is internet, don't take anything too seriously, especially from fans of other consoles

let's get two things clear before I tell you to chill out

1.. Nobody went behind your back, we did it in open forum, you were just unlucky to get picked as the "model xbox fanboy"

2... If you don't think you are a fanboy, you are absolutely delusional. Or else, why are you still fighting this? Go make a topic and try to convince one person that you are not, Go ahead, I dare you.

 

now... CHILL OUT! :)

Read what I said earlier.  I started the thread about Rrod at GDC and how pathetic is was.  I got RroD twice, believe me I don't apologize for that.  Also, I'm studying Microsoft's history at university at the moment.  IF you find one or two of the threads about anti-trust cases and monopolies, you'll find the only section of Microsoft I normally have nice stuff to say about is their games library.

the thing is i have never said you are a fanboy untill now so your theory of it always being the same people saying you are a fanboy is flawed

Er, wow.

I had to look twice to be sure, but you actually used the old Kindergarden "going to cry now?" line!!!

I don't know what gave you the idea that I was stressed out.  Actually I'm sitting here chuckling to myself.  It has been at least ten minutes since you and Auron assured me you had better things to do rather than go through my post history and find a single examply of fanboyism, but your still here trying to argue the case with no evidence at all.

Can I ask you something KingofWale? We are in off-topic, so if you admit this, noone will really see it.  When you first came to VGC, did you buy it when a couple of SDF members called me a fanboy?  Is that why you jumped on the bandwagon?  Then it all built up on you and by the time you realized I wasn't one you were in up to your neck?

It's ok, I won't tease you.  The truth shall set you free.......

Lol, its a figure of speech.  Your fully reasonable, and a legend

But yeah, I would have found the thread eventually.  I've become so used to the SDF bashing me (never my ideas, just me) that I can almost sense it now.

We are in this mess because I (as in one person) stated that starcraft is not a fanboy... remember...

Seriously guys... accusations will get us nowhere fast... you guys need to define what a fanboy is... someone who can argue with facts and knows the difference between them and opinions is not a fanboy IMO... starcraft has proven coutles times that he does´t argue without facts... whe he states a personal oppinion he lets you know it and its his good right to do so...

well at least we are still talkin about fanboys and not something else.
