Fan Girl, Or Just A Smart Consumer?

A few months back I had a fellow detectorist call me "pathetic," because I was speaking passionately about the Nokta Makro Legend.  I've also been called a "Fan Girl," which I find amusing.  One would have to be a fan of Nokta Makro products to be on the field team, no?  So... "Duh!" 

Maybe I don't understand how it works, but what is the point of getting free gear if it sucks, right?!  And since integrity is a trait for which I would die on the sword, I certainly wouldn't sell it out for metal detecting equipment.  

So, I get called out for being biased because I am "sponsored" by Nokta Makro.  I cannot help but wonder; does my status as a NOMAD mean my opinion doesn't count, or that I'm not entitled to an opinion at all?  The mere fact that I was willing to align my name with Nokta Makro should be evidence of how strongly I feel about the company and its products.  After all, I am a smart consumer, I do the research and I vote with my feet.  

Fact is if I were not a NOMAD I would have purchased the Simplex and the Legend, and I continually recommend both machines with confidence.  So call me a "Fan Girl," "brand loyal," or "pathetic," but I will continue to unapologetically offer my HONEST opinion and proudly wear the colors of a company that has proven itself in the industry with top-tier products and unparalleled customer service. 

P.S. Sticks and stones...
