lets generalize it further: People will take chances to bring up what they are passionate about. I can relate to this, it is not unreasonable for me.

  No disrespect to you but passion in people can come from deep knowledge of a subject but IME much more commonly comes from lack of experience with alternatives. I've noticed the younger people are the more likely they are to be passionate, which I put down mainly to not knowing any better. Once one has more of the experience that places you higher up where you can see further, suddenly one's own plot of land doesn't seem so special.

    Does that justify the snide remarks? We should show more tolerance, there might not be a tool in existence that does not have its disadvantages along with its advantages. Healthy discussion around facts is beneficial, dismissing people for being passionate is not.

      That did sound snide but it wasn't meant that way. I'm not sure how I should have done it better. > dismissing people for being passionate is not Seems I didn't say that well either. Passion that comes from knowledge and experience is good. If it comes from inexperience then maybe not so good because it isn't "Healthy discussion around facts" but around existing biases. Edit: genuinely no offence intended.

        None taken :), and my comment was about the snide in great (x3) grand parent comment(s). The whole fanboy/vegan/how do you know chain.
