You declare this thread studied? Thanks.

I agree as well, but we also see intentionally inflammatory or biased posts (usually ending with 'I'm not a fanboy but would be interested in peoples comments, discuss'). Asking people not to say 'fanboy' is like addressing the symptom but not the cause. This site is about discussing competition between manufacturers and it does attract people who show brand loyalty. The fact is, there are people who play on that and post with the intention of stirring up a hornet's nest.

This thread is horrible. Anyone who disagrees is a fanboy hating fanboy. D:

Fanboys is very sexist. There certainly are girls among them.

i am Cougarman and i approve this post

If they want us to stop calling them fanboys then they need to stop being fanboys.

 Calling people fanboys does no good. Post why they are making the wrong conclusion, and most of them will stop, as they can't attack those arguments. If they can, then they start an interesting discussion. If they don't stop, they will get banned within a few days.

You don't beat the problem by joining it.

tell that to the Merriam-Webster dictionary

THANK YOU the word makes me feel sick I see it so much.

funnily it's enough it's F__ B___'s that call other people F___ B____'s the most .

It's people who aren't able to debate , can't be bothered to debate that call other people F__ B___'s .

it's people who aren't able to articulate their opinions very well, the word is usefull in some instances but the majority of the time it's used for lack of desire to use a more intelligent or creative word.

If everyone calls everyone a F__ B___ regardless of situation or reason the word looses it's meaning and then pretty much means nothing and everything at the same time. You put the intelligent poster and the complete idiot in the same category.

Stop saying it , seriously.

I wouldn't be calling them girls, rather gamers of the opposite gender, at least so long as we're on the PC Nazi express here.
