We're talking about a snarky three sentence comment in an informal discussion. Would it have been better if ncm had articulated a supporting argument? Certainly. But you can't expect every post to come with a ten page academic paper attached. You especially can't expect this only of comments with which you disagree. Some people think Mono is useless. They might be mistaken, but you will neither convince them nor improve the quality of the discussion by calling them names. A polite reply pointing out reasons Mono is useful would have done both. Please, let's leave puerile pastimes like Troll Patrol to Slashdot.
