Tact goes a long, long way.
I really dislike the "fanboy" label, although sometimes it really is applicable. I think it should have one use; for pointing out when someone is being irrational in their defense of something Turbine has done.

The term does have some meaning, and does have at least this one valid use. Without negative connotations it wouldn't be functional.

On the other hand, I think that they should put a filter into the forums, every time you post the word "Fanboi" your rep just automatically goes down.

You know, one thing I haven't seen come up in this thread (not sure if I missed it) is mention of the Ignore function.

It is kind of hard to find, but it is dang handy. Many of these threads are a lot more readable when you use it (assuming there aren't too many replies to that person). The drawback I suppose is that people on ignore are never going to be moderated.

I have quite a few of the more annoying, and incendiary posters on ignore and I highly recommend it. It is amusing to come into a thread (such as this one) and see all these ignored posts, and people fighting with the ignored person and thinking "Now why the heck did I put this guy on ignore again?"
