I'm not really sure why you felt it neccesary to even make this post. The internet has always been nothing but a series of conversations...some polite...some not. Sometimes, I feel like being polite, and at other times, I feel like being free to call an @sshole an @sshole.
To me, it is simply a matter of deciding in which sandbox I want to play at any given time. To stand in one sandbox and throw sand at others in another sandbox seems rather pointless, IMO...Regardless of which sandbox one is standing in, or who is throwing the sand.
I play in the sandbox that interests me at any given point in time.
There is a mirror thread of this at LF. So, people there are talking about FR as people here, are talking about LF. Pretty pointless...but everyone gets to spew.

To me, it seems more a matter of which catbox to play in at any given time.
