You prove my point. You like the N9 not because of its merits as a smartphone, but because it runs Linux. Hence you also defend the N9 on the basis of Linux, and not the specs/functionality/usability. You like the N9 because it represents Linux in a mobile device. When anyone criticize the N9, you take it as criticism of what it represents to you, your preference on a higher level, than simply a criticism of the phone, the device. In all essence this makes you a fanboy. A well behaved fanboy maybe, but a fanboy nonetheless. To other people, newbees on the forum, this is interpreted as hostility because your defence makes little sense, and is more in lines of what any typical fanboy would write.
