I felt I had to "step up", so to speak & create this thread for other's to discuss! Now-A-Days, there are too many "fan-boys" (sometimes known as fanatics) who (the most credible site off all time) Wikipedia defines Fan-Boy as; an individual who is devoted to a single fannish subject, or to a single point of view within that subject, often to the point where it is considered an obsession. Fanboys remain loyal to their particular obsession. They are usually biased in their opinion/assesments & have difficulty "seeing both sides of a story" & can slightly exaggerate facts & figures. Usually whenever "competition" arrives, they also are quick to downplay and/or slander their counterpart. More than likely, this type of Person is not REAL & has trouble in this dept. in his or her everyday life... Ex. I have a PS3, so the X-Box 360 sucks, Floyd is the best ever, F**K everyone else (I've heard people say that), I'ma Lakers Fan, so Kobe should be the MVP, No question, etc. etc...
A Fan; (as webster so eloquently puts it) an enthusiastic devotee, follower, or admirer of a sport, pastime, celebrity, etc.: For the most part, this bunch is OBJECTIVE about their assessments & can have great DEBATES with other fans, even if they don't AGREE on the same subject/topic...Ex. I have a PS3, but the XBox360 is a good system as well, Floyd is my fav. fighter, but their were plenty of great fighters before him, I'ma Lakers Fan & hope Kobe gets it, but they're at least 3 people who can be considered in the "running"...
I've seen 2 many Fan-Boys (I wont say any names...yet) on this site, contradicting themselves, just to "sing another tune" the following week & running from the truth!
With this criteria, we should all be able to identify Fans & Fan-Boys & therefore make the concious effort not to get upset with some of the non-sense that is posted here & just to remember that they can't help who they are...
