I will be the first to admit that this has been an unnecessary verbal body-slam on my part and I do owe the poster an apology, but:
> The guy expressed an opinion...
In technical circles even opinions have to be defensible. You can't just accept "X sucks and Y rocks" as an opinion and let it pass. The whole place will become abuzz with irrational thought, and overrun with "we are all right" group-think liberal-arts type BS.

Why not? The only reason that 'the whole place will become abuzz with irrational thought, and overrun with "we are all right" group-think liberal-arts type BS' is because people can't just accept things like this as somebody's opinion... they have to create a language war out of simple blog post about liking something.
(To everyone else, I'll quit now I promise, obviously I'm not helping the matter!)
