Nah, just a childishly OTT response to an insignificant difference of opinion. I should’ve made it clearer by calling you a poo-poo-head, or something.

If the PS1 looked like a well designed toy, the PS2 was a futuristic monolith, literally. In a vertical stand it certainly looked the part. Yes, the designers obviously stole the monolith idea from 2001, a space Odyssey. It's still an impressive, if somewhat unsubtle design choice.
