    Nope. The logic is that “I’m not a fan boy but” is usually as true as “I’m not a racist but”.

    In both cases, what follows will usually be proof that everything before “but” was a lie.

    Or to put it in yet another way: people who feel the need to assure others that they’re definitely not fan boys…are usually fan boys.

    Me being right or wrong has nothing to do with it at all.

      Are you then saying that you’ll consider someone’s opinion that is contrary to yours as long as they don’t mention they “aren’t a fanboy”? Its just those words that trigger you to dismiss them entirely?

        I’m saying that there’s being open minded, which is a good thing, and then there’s wasting your time trying to talk sense into people blinded by hero worship/follower identify to the point of being unreachable and/or arguing in bad faith.

        The latter is a bad thing that I’m trying to become better at avoiding but am doing right now with you and was doing before with Definitely Not A Fan Boy Nuh-uh.
