So are you going to answer his question? Since 'fanboys' is taboo or insulting, what are we supposed to collectively refer to these people as?

- nkurz 16y agoHis particular question reads fine as "Is it so hard to" without referring to who feels that way. If he genuinely wanted a response, he could be inclusive with "Is it so hard for us to". "Fanboys" is not taboo, but is insulting and unlikely to obtain a friendly response. "Fans of Apple" is probably a better neutral term. But like the original author, I wonder if you are actually asking a question. Are you?
- rbarooah 16y agoWhy do you need a term aside from for use in ad hominem attacks?
- burgerbrain 16y agoFor effective communication. Specific terminology has more uses than insults you know.
