I'm not attacking anyone (at least not on purpose), I'm just trying to make a point here.

Resig's actions towards clj effectively turned his whole userbase against everyone and everything that was written in that newsgroup. Thousands of unexperienced js developers shunning great advice just because it came from someone Resig had a beef.

I do believe that it had a negative effect on the javascript industry for a few years.

Yeah, JavaScript really hasn't gone anywhere since Resig left clj in 2008.

That's obviously not what I have said.
