I’m not a go fanboy, but I do know from other contexts that so-called “fanboy“ behaviour is frequently associated with level-headed supporters getting defensive in the face of imprecise criticism.
replyThere’s an oft-repeated pattern where valid specific criticisms morph into broad criticism, which morphs into judgement, which breeds defensiveness, which feeds the criticism. Once you recognise this pattern, you see it everywhere.
Sure, and there's the near-identical pattern where valid specific criticisms are taken as broad criticism even though they aren't, etc., etc..
