Sounds like the OP has to justify his large mental investment he made in CS by bashing others who have different opinions. "I'm not a blub like them. I'm not close-minded like them. I'm not doing mundane things like them."

It's a telling sign about a language when the language advocates have to employed negative psychological ploys to convince people (or convince themselves) to use the language.

On the contrary, it seems that OP was going out of his way to explain that it's acceptable to have initially hated CS.

If CS is actually terrible, why don't we talk about what actually makes it terrible? I can't comprehend the notion that evaluating the advocates of X will demonstrate anything concrete about X.
