I stopped learning F# myself for this reason in particular. I really enjoy the language but I just cannot stomach the F# community. The .NET community is small enough as it is, and F# is a fraction of a percent of that, but they are extremely vocal others and bully others for what seems like no other purpose than to gain personal popularity and sell books. If this community went away I think the language would do much better, or maybe there would be room for another functional language on .NET that could start fresh without a history of pain. The entire situation is simply sad.
