Oh I'm pretty sure. Fanboy trates often lead those afflicted to trample over facts, rational discussion and argument with empty snark and irrational assertions. Commonly if it is stated that it would be nice to have some feature set of the rival product this is taken as a personal attack on that fanboys item of adoration. The assumed assertion that ones god is not all powerful if you will. Accusations that a man or product is less than perfect is tad amount to defiling ones temple.
Don't you talk badly about queen though as we all go a little fanboy at times but as long as it isn't to often most people forget or forgive after a while. Smile. Danny.
