I share your sentiments on this. I feel weird continuing this crap too but I'm
at my wits end trying to put an end to this sort of stuff.

Its not that someone is opiniated that bothers me, its how it is conveyed.
For example I have no problems if someone says that the way class reloading is
implemented in Tomcat 13.42 sucks and why it is bad but not something like: "you
obviously are clueless about classloaders, you haven't looked at jserv. sigh!
why don't you just pull the code from there?!" Or for that matter, "you claim
you are a PhD but you haven't done any research on template engines." I'm
paraphrasing here but you get the idea...
