It's a shame that you've been downvoted instead of replied to.
I agree that we need to criticize concepts, not people. That said, we shouldn't be ignorant of a language's strengths when criticizing it's weaknesses.
Most of all, it's important to analyze the trade-offs inherent in working with a particular language. For example, it's very easy to iterate when working with a language like PHP. I can appreciate that while also not being a fan of implicit type conversions and inconsistent naming patterns in builtin functions.
When discussing trade-offs, it helps to discuss things from a position of knowledge, not ignorance. If you haven't programmed in PHP, you might want to hold back some commentary on it.
