I love EB because in general it seems that the civilized posters here accept basic facts of reality, such as the earth not being flat and the 360 being the only console of choice for gamers. People don't get called 'Xbots' for liking the 360's games library; that's considered the default status. I don't think it's contradictory for someone to say that they love the 360, hate the Wii and PS3 and say that they are not a fanboy. Not liking the 360 is akin, in my mind, to a movie fan saying they hate DVDs - it's the standard for this gen. Far from perfect, but liking it does not make you a fanatic by any means.
I don't sense any close-mindedness either; I'm pretty sure most of the posters here would turn on the 360 with appalling venom should its intense pwnage of all 'competition' ever cease, even momentarily.
