woah woah... what are you, going to cry now?

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! :)

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.......

 


 We are all fanboys, or else we won't be on a gaming website. Also, using words like SDF doesn't really help your case of "I'm not a fanboy"

again, maybe not demanding everyone to "prove" things might make it feel like you aren't taking it "too seriously"? It does seem quite whinny to me. 

This thread was never meant to target anyone specific, I suppose your posts themselves were the reason people mentioned you. And frankly, I can't disagree with some of the points.

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

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 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...


 I think you clearly don't understand the difference between a "fanboy" and "idiot"

 Fanboys are people who rather choose to look at things half-full when it comes to the console of their choice.

Idiots are people who go out and say stupid stuff.

Now, I don't remember I ever called StarCraft the latter. Most of us merely stated that he's a fanboy

Lol.  The irony.  The only thread we can keep on topic is about fanboys.

Answer me something honestly.  In my opinion, a fanboy is someone who argues without logic or reason in defense of a console, often to the detriment of other consoles.

Tell me honestly.  Do you ever see me attack the PS3 without giving some reasoning?

Do you honestly believe I cannot see the Xbox 360 faults?

Does it mean nothing to you that I regularly praise Versus and WKS and say I will get a PS3 for them?

 if you look up most dictionary. this is the definition of "FANBOY"

 

Fanboy (sometimes spelled fanboi) is a term used to describe an individual who is devoted to a single fannish subject,

 

Hmmmm, where did it mention anything about "without logic or reason"? jumping a gun a bit, no? And you want to tell me you weren't all worked about over nothing. LOL

Lol.  A whole lot of stuff just made sense all of a sudden.  Frankly, you have always seemed more reasonable than the rest of the SDF.  I often couldn't understand why you jumped on the fanboy bandwagon.

Now I know, you have the most liberal definition of what it is to be a "fanboy" ever.  "choose to look at things half-full."  Wow, so now you have to be either a pessimist or a fanboy.

I won't take offense to YOU calling me a fanboy in the future, as long as you clarify what you define one to be everytime the SDF jumps on the bandwagon after you start it up.

 you really need to look up the definition of "fanboy", it's about "devotion", not "senseless love" (well, at least let's not go to the extreme cases), we are all fanboys in one sense or another, one console/games or another.

well kingofwale has said it all lol. what else is left for me to say



El Duderino on 20 April 2008

Sorry but as far as I can tell and idiot who sayes stupid stuff without logic or a line of agrumentation is the definition of fanboy... someone who likes a console and tends to be optimistic twards it is just a normal fan... correct me if I´m wrong... wait... scratch that... don´t correct me... just accept it...

 Apparently not according to any online dictionaries or anywhere else, Fanboy is all about being a fan. It's not really an insult.
