Yes I got ranted at for suggesting "fools racing towards a cliff" as a better description. These threads appear to have attracted a lot of people looking for a fight and will jump on any nuanced post as a "pro" side.

I've noticed this phenomenon a lot, and I'm not exactly sure what causes it. If you correct someone's understanding of the software, half the time they'll try to pick a fight with you over being a supporter of it. I haven't experienced that while discussing any other type of software project.

Perhaps it results from the human tendency to try to separate "good guys" from "bad guys". Whatever it is, I find it really gets in the way of productive discussion.
