Oops, wrong reply here!!
Sorry, that was meant to go elsewhere.

A more appropriate response:

Oh, so what you're saying is that you're just as deluded and poor a poster as I am? Fair enough. But at least I strive to do more than point out the nose on my own face. You've made this point over and over again. Yes, there are people who are zealous about the technology they use. Yes, it is annoying. But pointing it out, over and over again has become just as annoying.

I worry that like the zealot, who uses his choice of technology to feel good about himself, you are using your disdain for zealots to feel good about yourself. To give yourself someone beneath you, someone to compare yourself to which allows you to build some self-esteem. You should feel good about yourself just because you are good, not because you're better than someone else.
