Ian, having personal biases or opinions for/against particular
programming languages is ok, and making recommendations based on those
opinions is also ok. But making up nonsense in order to
obscure the fact that your recommendations are, in fact,
based
solely on a few such personal opinions is
not
ok.
E.g., "We don't agree that Tcl is the world's greatest
language", and all the rest of your statements about ACS
quoted above, are simply irrelevent nonsense - straw man arguments
that have nothing to do with any of the real issues you were actually
discussing, and never did. In fact, you actually said nothing
relevent about the ACS whatsoever. Not good.
If the truth is, "Based on my past experience I don't like
Tcl, and other than that it uses Tcl I don't really know that much
about the ACS or AOLserver, and don't have the time or inclination to
investigate it.", then say so. Don't make up BS instead.
Please try to achieve a higher level of honesty and rigor in the
future.
