Personally, I wish you wouldn't do things like that. As someone said, it just becomes a religious war where the sarcasm and insult replaces the understanding and exchange. Back when CI$ was the main game in town flame wars became common. When I was doing a lot with PowerBuilder folks from Gupta (SQL WIndows) would come over and drop bombs. One day a fellow named Richard Finklestein showed up and started flaming PB on a supposed cursor problem. He was very gracious, condesending and political. It turns out that a writer from InfoWorld told Finklestein that he was going to be lurking on the PB forum to find out what developers thought about PB's problems with bugs in the 3.0 release. So, RF showed up to milk the situation for publicity - free press for his Consulting agency.

For those who like to read flame wars Talk.Origins is a good place to go. The Howler Monkeys always put on a good show.
