I agree with both Doodlebird and especially Mr_Mephisto.
This blind hostility for rivals seems to stem from the animal instinct of tribal self-preservation. Preserve the group by killing and eating anything which threatens it. People become bonded over brands as they once did to their tribes, they then commence killing and eating (so to speak) rivals of that brand.
I buy second-hand clothing, PC bits (onoes), toys for my daughter, video games, etc etc etc. There is absolutely no difference in my mind between Sony and NEC monitors. A thing serves it's purpose until it doesn't anymore.
