No, that's not true, although it might appear that way some times.  What
usually happens is the same thing that happened this time:

Someone who doesn't know anything about either computer crossposts a
request for comparisons, and the denisons of both groups respond in an
escalating spiral of verbal hostilities.  In each group it looks like the
other group is doing all the attacks, and it takes a long time for everyone
to calm down.

I think that a brief show of respect for each other will make life more
enjoyable for us all over the next week or two.

If anyone wants to actually argue there is an amiga group set aside for
that (note the followup).  Otherwise let's try to be civil to one another
while this crossposting nonsense wears off.
