I think the Big Deal is, people do not like having their keyboards ridiculed or belittled as it makes them feel as if they are being belittled for making a bad investment or purchase. The digs that go on about different keyboards being better or worse are taken very personally due in part to the connection the owner has with the board. Nobody likes being made to feel the fool. When you ridicule someones keyboard you are indirectly ridiculing the decission they made to buy it. I think that is bound to hurt feeling and stir up anger in some.

Nothing like beating a dead horse. We do it here more lately than I remember. I find it hard to believe that we can't be happy for others when they spend great amounts of hard earned money on one of these keyboards. Instead we often try to persuade them that they made a bad decission by not buying the board we own or like. People like feeling accepted. We shouldn't make someone feel alienated because of the type of keyboard they like and play.
