We're not favoring anyone! FYI even one of my posts got deleted by another mod in the same thread because it was off topic.
I agree that FD's post was a bit too much, but again it was on topic. He only spoke about IM and their sound.
Your post however deleted because it wasn't about IM, it was about FD. You call him a diehard fan not worth of debating before you even debate with him.
