These guys don't deserve to have their launch thread turned into the Nth copy, for extremely large N, of a same-old flamewar. That's what you started here, and it was entirely predictable from your comment, which means you broke the site guidelines. Please review them and stick to the rules. This kind of thing is nasty and avoidable.

The guidelines are very far from being an exact science and your comment is too subjective.

And even if I started it, it was up to dozens of others to not comment on my comment. Could have just downvoted it to oblivion.

Of course, dozens of others did their share. But commenters are responsible for the statistical outcome of what they post, and in this case the expected value was definitely negative.
