I think it's worth pointing out that not only is the argument logically incorrect, it's based on incorrect facts. For example:
A: "Lisp sucks. If it didn't, we'd see it winning contests or something"

- natep 16y agoWait, what? My original comment got at least one upvote, and then my edit ("For example:..."), that was meant to clarify what I was saying, is getting downvotes. Can someone explain? I'm not trying to disagree with the OP in general (you can't fight bad logic with more bad logic) but just pointing out that correcting someone's facts can be easier (and with this datum point, possible). Edit: I like the upvote, but an explanation would be better.
