I would define it as someone who takes the corporate side of an issue, while defending/denying/whitewashing the corporate malfeasance that was critical in bringing us to this point.
Another definition might be the blind acceptance of corporation lawyers deciding the ethics of an issue, by writing the laws for purchased legislators to pass.
Is that enough? I could provide some of the additional definitions.

I find people define a fanboy as anyone that is not a corporate-hater. |

It is NOT about taking the company's side but also ignoring the negative aspects or actions of the company. |

When you can't debate the issue intelligently, resort to name calling. It's how we do things now... |

| reply to blergh123 They actually do outline their terms and conditions. Some folks simply choose to ignore them because they don't like them. File sharing is not permitted on the network. It's there in black and white. The terms and conditions also explicitly state that they will employ network management. No, they don't provide all the technical detail -- and the shouldn't. They are terms and conditions, not technical specifications. :rolleyes: |
