There's always a place for healthy discussion, where differing points of view are shared and debated. Of course when things get out of hand, that's where the fun ends. Constructive criticism never harmed anyone save for the diehard fans that see NO flaws in the company they support. but on the otherside of the token, they too can be just as mean spirited as those that go beyond constructive criticism and bash everything said company is does. Good or bad.
It's good to be a fan, but to be blind and willing to everything they do? Not so much.
Yah I know what you mean.
