No, I'm just saying that like attracts like. If PG starts anything involving programmers, a lot of them are going to share a number of his opinions on the topic, because they self-select that way. So HN is naturally going to be dominated by those who dislike Java.

You can keep responding to that dislike, but on HN, given its natural audience, staking out much of a pro-Java position is doomed to futility.
