Fanboys

There are few things I find quite as annoying recently as the rampant fanboyism that seems to be all the rage nowadays.

But if we don't have fanboys where would our best internet flamewars come from?

SAFARI AND FIREBIRD FOREVER! ;) Flame on!

Surely, you meant to say, "if we didn't have fanboys"?

You've got your answer -- they'd be grammar flames instead! :)

I've often wondered if they do more harm than good on forums such as MozillaZine. Evangelism is one thing, but disparaging people who report bugs or ask questions is counterproductive.
