Even easier than being a fanboy is to promote one's own superiority via dismissal and sneering at the efforts of others. You probably see yourself as sophisticated, but your remarks are no different than a 7 year old putting down somebody for throwing like a girl.

It's adolescent, not contrarian.

Easier? How? Because you said so?

>promote one's own superiority via dismissal

How come I haven't noticed that it isn't working, then?

>sneering at the efforts of others..

This is where you show your fanboy colors. The GP said something along the line "I don't think that is as amazing as you say", and you overreact, saying that they are, "sneering at others efforts". Another commenter said SpaceX is facing "incredible" criticism in HN. All signs of over reaction, typical of fanboys when their need and expectation of unquestioning acceptance and praise from everyone, for their object of worship, are not met..

>You probably see yourself as sophisticated, remarks are no different than a 7 year old putting down somebody for throwing like a girl, It's adolescent, not contrarian.

More typical, hurt fanboy reaction. Stop for a moment and and think about what exactly in my comment have provoked you to attack me in this fashion.
