I wasn't referring to anyone in particular, but just tried to make those two stop talking about "fanboys" in general (and I failed to *sigh*), because I'm fed up with all the "fanboys are this, fanboys are that" talk, for all it does is poisoning the mood of the forums.
Ofcourse some redicules statements of users here can get annoying, but to me the bigger annoyance is the following 3-5 pages discussion about how fanboys behave. - I always thought this was a gaming forum and not a whining-about-fanboys forum.

Usually when people over-use the "fanboy" label than they are guilty of the same crime themselves. I'm trying to use it less than I used to, but sometimes I can't help it when people use it to marginalize or insult a game when it's obvious they just don't prefer the platform of development.
It's the same as calling someone a "Liberal" or a "Conservative" to not have to answer the question in debate.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
Conservatives: Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.
