I will suppose that....

So how do you define a Comcast fanboy? Is it someone who doesn't agree with you? Someone who doesn't always go with majority?
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.

Can one take the corporate side of an issue because they understand the business issues and economics, but not be a fanboy?

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.

While at the same time taking the otherside because comcast doesn't come out and say what it's terms and conditions are and exactly what you'll be getting and what they'll be doing to your packets?

Or, really, anything that you don't happen to agree with.

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

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:
