I think context is important when it comes to the use of the term "Fan Boy".
When people use it to degrade people whose opinion I disagree with it is a valuable tool which reveals their blind faith in the subject in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary..
When it is used to describe people whose opinions I share it is an outrageous ad-hominem attack which proves that the user is losing the argument and is desperately clutching at straws.

How precious are some of these Scott supporters? Love to compare fan boy or half cat mafia etc. to some of the truly horrendous insults consistently thrown at the anti-Scott crew (disgracefully including by some mods) on here over the journey.
