Reviewing the thread, there are perhaps two spots where I could possibly be considered to be making "jabs at you".
1) My tone might have been off when I asked you why you bother with a paladin. If it offended, I apologise. It was actually a serious question. I am genuinly curious why you would spend so much time playing and posting about something you find broken and boring, created by morons.
2) I dismissed one of your comments as "Wrong on so many levels". However, I was responding to the hysterical and unwarrented tone of your comment. Since I have the time today, I will make a seperate post explaining the levels of wrongness.
On the other hand, the term Fanboi is an offensive adhominem attack, there is no other way to paint it. While I'll cop to being a fan (and still don't understand why you put this level of investment into something if you are not) based on this definition I don't think I qualify as a fanboi. I base this on the fact that I believe Blizzard has made and continues to make several mistakes including:
Shameful lack of stability for the "terrible twenty" servers for the first 6 months of the game
Releasing the honor system before battle grounds led to excessive ganking of characters in thier 50's
Very poor talents for hunters and druids
Abominably buggy and laggy release of BWL
Some shaman talents are completly useless
Lack of a crackdown on professional farmers
Lack of a crackdown on AV leechers
Poor caster itemization
Uneven class content
etc.
Having a bad month is no reason to be rude.
