Nothing I said there was sarcastic.

My dislike is of python is 100% subjective, it has it's flaws but so
does every language.

My dislike of python zealots is based on exactly what I see on /. etc
- Max posted his rant about Perl and how much better python would be
to LJ and that was submitted (by somebody else) to digg/reddit and
picked up by said zealots on slashdot.
