No, that is a bit too extreme. Let us not be opposed to different 
opinions, but let us respect the right to differ in opinions. So, 
while I respect the blogger's opinions, I don't agree with it. No 
big deal.

We wouldn't want to push anyone away. I respect the blogger's 
ability to make his own choices. Anyway, we have ideas and 
opinions discussed on the list all the time... Give-and-take 
discussions seem to be disappearing in this age where things often 
gets too politically correct, a pity.

David has explained much of it. It is a different way of thinking, 
that's all. But lots of people have modified or extended Lua anyway.
