I wanted to refute his arguments and claims so the other groups would also
see
this as misinformation.  At least to those who were interested in the flame.

I don't generally post much here, but I do read it everyday.  I don't know
how many
people do the same.  If they are just learning Lisp; they should be able to
see the facts.
Lisp can be a hard thing to learn when you come from a traditional
prgramming background.
A little misinformation like this could, discourage them.

Lisp is the red pill.  I am the technical lead in a large programming shop.
The programmers that
know lisp, and have 'gotten' it, always become the best programmers.  Even
if they don't get to
use it.
