    yeah but he didnt do it on a MS or Sony forum.
    Its an online comic forum, right ?

    It doesn't matter where he posted it. It does not make the post anymore resonable or correct.

    He was not picked on beause he stated his opinion but because he introduced himself as a Nintendo fanboy then posted that sony/microsoft lick themselves and used stupid, childish reasons to back that up.
    Keep in mind that I didn't start the proper thread until after they started slagging me, in a bid to annoy them more. So it's not like I was going to put much effort into it. Besides, I didn't really want to get into a discussion about MS or Sony but I was driven to it by their tirade. I only put the "P.S." comment at the bottom of my post to show where I stood. Besides I don't mind being called a Nintendo fanboy. After all, why would a fan of a certain thing take insult to being called a fan of that thing when they obviously take pride in it? It doesn't make any sense calling someone a fanboy when they obviously are and don't deny it.

    I think you have the wrong meaning of fanboy. Your are just a fan, but your comments were like a fanboys.

    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fanboy&r=f
    " 8. fanboy
    In the video game world, a person who desperately prefers one system over others, and will hate every other without reason."

    I preferred this variation of Fanboy from the urbandictionary link above.
    A gamer who maintains loyalty to one system no matter what. Video game system FanBoys hate systems that are not their own. FanBoys are annoying and refuse to conceed to valid points made in defence of other consoles, and talk about their console of choice as if it is the only logical choice. AKA Eric
    'My friend, Eric, goes by the alias 'Nintendofreak' and insists that the world would end without Nintendo. What a fanboy. He needs to just simmer and realise that there are games on other systems worth playing, regardless of what circuit board or buttons are running it.'

    Hef, people hold fanboys in varying degrees of contempt. Fans support or enjoy some product and/or service, fanboys attack all other products and/or service in some sort of cosmic battle that will decide the fate of humanity. Jumping on and declaring yourself a fanboy and *not* expecting contempt to be registered is a bit mad. Anyway, being a console fanboy is pointless. All consoles suck donkey balls. Buy a PC. PC roxorz all. Consoles ....are....eh something ..... unpleasant - Ah you get the point Im making.

    Hugh Hi! Hey, did you read any other posts before posting? If the one video game forum and waffle didn't appeal to you, then why did you join? You posted a strong opinion and then expected not to defend it? What is that? Good sense of humor by the way. The profanity complaint was priceless BTW, Wich Olsen twin are you Mary Kate or Ashley? hmmmmm.
