He's not just any guy, but the guy that created a whole website, C++ FQA, dedicated to trying to explain how C++ is terrible. Or maybe he just shares the same name with him.

That's me alright, but I think my comment in this instance didn't warrant the claim about "religious dimensions." Having a firm opinion and using (OMG) the word "shit" when stating it does not mean it's a religion, and I'm very secularly using much of C++11 as I said, and I was among the people pushing for the upgrade where I work.

Maybe it was too strong of a word, but... I have the impression that C++ topics are more emotional than they need to be. In the end it's just a programming language.
