One reason is when a trickster is misleading people to use OO in an
area where it really sucks like data management.

A very strong reason, isn't it?

No, because the use of the term "trickster" makes the assumption that YOUR knowledge is perfect. You assume that you KNOW that I am a trickster, and that my position cannot possibly be responsible or valid.

I am not trying to mislead anyone, Alfredo. I am stating my opinions on a matter of deep interest to this group. You may disagree with those opinions; and indeed, I welcome a spirited debate based on honest disagreement. But I won't tolerate the arrogance of the ad-homimen attacks. They are cowardly and arrogant.
