This is fair. For what it's worth, I think PHP kind of sucks, and interesting criticism of any language is worthwhile. I love Steve Yegge's Tour de Babel article (http://steve.yegge.googlepages.com/tour-de-babel http://steve.yegge.googlepages.com/tour-de-babel), and I even generally enjoy Zed's loud criticism of my day-to-day language.
What I don't like is language trolling, which often comes in the form of claiming that one language is better than another. Unless you're looking at a narrow slice of the language (performance, documentation, expressiveness), you can't just say that one language is better than another.
