(cross-posted to c.l.perl.misc and c.l.python only because they are named in Xah Lee's discourse) That's interesting. So to "correct" the attitude of several communities *you* believe are insular and opinionated (most people would disagree with you, but that's besides the point) you took it upon yourself to cross-post your thoughts to all those communities. Do you really believe this is ethically correct? (I'm sure you believe it's morally correct, but that's also besides the point. I hope you at least understand the difference between morals and ethics, and which of the two apply when you deal with a community.) You mention philosophers, cooperation, and open-mindedness. You also use loaded terms like "hot air," "brainlessness," call Python people "militant" and "poor in knowledge," and name a "Perl cult." I hope you see how this is at best inconsistent (I would call it hypocritical), and makes you and your postings unwelcome with the communities you've peppered with your opinions.
