True, I'm also saying deep breaths for both sides, fanboys and anti-fanboys. While everyone has the right to gripe and they can do it anyway they choose we all know the golden rule and that tends to even apply to internet boards. Communication is a two way street and while it's incumbent on the listener (reader) to respond appropriately the one broadcasting their message should be intelligent enough to understand that the manner in which they express themselves is going to play into people's responses. That's human nature.
Anyhow, the response I included in your quote above is unfortunate and people shouldn't have flamed the guy, I totally agree. But to me it's just as inevitable as the initial posters' tantrum. There were also several responses encouraging the poster to calm down, chill out, and not give up as well as reponses from Marc and Steve which will hopefully carry more weight in the person's mind then a few random comments.
